Well.... with fireworks there are no end to sad stories.

In opening remarks to the jury, HM Coroner David Roberts, said: "In the course of the preparations of the fireworks some ignited and the consequence was the entire outbuilding and its contents were consumed by fire."


In the absence of evidence I am authorized to speculate. I posit thus --
they were doing something in the storeroom they shouldn't have been doing.
"Shouldn't be doing" includes ANYTHING except storing or removing stock.

Inserting squibs into leaders comes upon my mind.



The biggest BOOM resulting from work in the storage area
(removing gins)was the --

1944. RAF Bomb Store Stonepit Hills - Hanbury, England. 8 000 000 pounds of "bombs." 68 killed.
