Staffordshire Police post on Facebook this morning...
Staffordshire Police
The joint investigation into the cause
of the explosion and fire at SP
Fireworks in Stafford will continue on
Friday morning and work will
continue throughout the night to
make the scene safe.
Emergency services plan to reduce
the size of the cordon in the early
hours of morning allowing Baswich
Lane to reopen to traffic. Tilcon Ave
will remain closed and cordoned off
whilst the investigation continues.
All the businesses accessed via
Tilcon Ave will remain closed and
sealed off whilst this work continues.
The response to this fire involved
dozens of colleagues from
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue, West
Midlands Ambulance Service, County
Council Highways, Network Rail,
Environment Agency, the Canal &
River Trust and Stafford Borough
Council. All working together to
ensure the safety of the wider area.
This was a challenging and complex
operation and we recognise the
impact it had on local residents and
we want to thank them for the
cooperation.
On Friday we will continue to
investigate this incident and work to
ensure everyone is accounted for.
Sadly at this stage we believe there
is a person unaccounted for and our
focus remains tracing those at the
factory shortly before the explosion.
A joint investigation in the incident
is already underway, which will work
to establish the cause and
circumstances immediately before
the fire.
Local nieghbourhood police officers
will remain at the scene throughout
the night and tomorrow whilst this
work continues.
Anyone with any information which
could help police and fire establish
the cause should call Staffordshire
Police on 101.
So very sad.
