| At least 24 killed in Mexico fireworks explosion Posted: 05 Jul 2018 10:30 PM PDT  At least 24 people were killed in a series of explosions on Thursday at fireworks warehouses in the town of Tultepec in central Mexico, including rescue workers who died saving others' lives, officials said. The initial explosion occurred at about 9:30am, then spread to other warehouses just as police and firefighters began attending to the first victims. Tultepec, a town of 65,000 people just north of Mexico City, is known for its artisanal fireworks - and a history of deadly accidents. "We deeply regret the deaths of those who were killed this morning in... Tultepec, including our firefighter and police colleagues who lost their lives saving those of many others," read a tweet from the Red Cross in the state of Mexico, where Tultepec is located. At least 24 people were killed - including a minor - and 49 wounded, officials said. Damaged buildings and cars litter the site Credit: Moises Castillo/AP The victims included four firefighters and five police. Hundreds of soldiers, police and firefighters deployed to the neighborhood of Xahuento, on the outskirts of the town, cordoned off a wide area around the smoldering workshops where the explosions ocurred. An anguished teenager was asking rescue workers for news about his father, a fireworks maker who worked in the area. "I left school to look for him as soon as we heard about the explosion. But they won't let me through and nobody is giving me any information," said Allan Osvaldo, 14. Fireworks explosions at a warehouse in #Mexico`s city of #Tultepec kill 19, injure 40. Casualties are said to include firefighters and rescuers who had arrived to help initial blast victims pic.twitter.com/kxhMukTBWT— Benjamin Alvarez (@BenjAlvarez1) July 5, 2018 Hours later, his father reappeared, badly shaken but safe. "I was in my workshop when I heard the explosion. I ran out and was immediately enveloped in the cloud of smoke," said the father, 43-year-old Osvaldo Urban, his voice trembling. "I'm so grateful to be OK." An overpowering smell of gunpowder hung in the air, and occasional detonations could still be heard hours after the original accident. Charred furniture and bricks hurled by the explosions could be seen lying in the grass, even outside the ample security perimeter.

We left the house running and I saw a huge white cloud in the sky, as if it were going to rain - except today it rained fire," said Alondra Perez, 62, who lives across the road. Two badly damaged firetrucks were visible beside one totaled workshop, and a police officer told AFP an ambulance had been completely charred in one blast. "People here insist on continuing to make fireworks. It's their tradition. But they don't gauge the consequences of these tragedies. It's infuriating, because our firefighter colleagues... end up dead saving these people," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity. This was the scene on December 20, 2016, when explosions ripped through the San Pablito fireworks' market in Tultepec Credit: Jose Luis Tolentino/AP Tultepec is known for making the fireworks for holidays and saints' days. It has been hit by devastating explosions in the past. On June 6, seven people were killed in a similar blast. And on December 20, 2016, 42 people were killed and 70 injured in a series of spectacular explosions at Tultepec's San Pablito market, the largest fireworks market in the country.
