The tragic fireworks explosion that resulted in the death of a Roswell Firefighter and the injury of 10 others – has formally been ruled an accident. Investigators with the US Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Bureau interviewed a dozen firefighters involved in the incident at Roswell International Air Center. The report says that firefighters were packaging fireworks for the city’s annual 4th of July celebration, which the fire department has helped with for decades. The explosion occurred as firefighters were fusing aerial shells with electric matches. The initial explosion lead to the consumption of all of the fireworks shells and blew out all of the walls of the structure. Firefighter Jeff Stroble died of his injuries about six weeks after the accident.
