Executive Director Christine Perkins of the Comanche Chamber of Commerce said it is unfortunate that the fireworks explosion in Comanche happened during one of the largest shows in the region. The fireworks show reportedly draws 15,000 people from different metro areas such as Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin.
She said, 'We're still in shock. And definitely in a community our size, there will be some kind of ceremony" to recognize the victims.
Rachel Moreno, spokeswoman for the fire marshal's office said that the agency has a permit on file which authorized Friday's sparklers and unexpectedly turned out to be the fireworks explosion in Comanche.
Fireworks explosion in Comanche is still an ongoing investigation and Moreno has not released any additional information and declined requests for comments regarding the incident. To learn more about the history of the Comanche fireworks show, click here.
