The fact-finding group, Task Force Pacific, has recommended the filing of criminal, civil and administrative charges against the owners of the Pacific Fireworks and Pacific Hardware Enterprises' stockyard that went up in smoke following an explosion last January 28 in this city.
The recommendation of the task force, headed by Zamboanga City Fire District director Supt. Jaime Ramirez, is contained in its 16-page investigation report submitted Monday to Mayor Celso Lobregat.
The Task Force Pacific was created through Executive Order No. CL-384-2011 to investigate the cause of the January 28 incident at the compound of the Pacific Hardware Enterprises in Barangay Camino Nuevo this city.
At least 33 persons were injured when an estimated 60,000 pounds of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic materials went up in smoke following an explosion in the afternoon of January 28.
The incident also razed to the ground 16 houses aside from the destruction in nearby establishments including a hospital.
Lobregat said the task force has established the culpability of the owners for negligence in disregard to the safety of lives and limbs of people working and staying in the stockyard and other properties near the area where the container vans loaded with firecrackers had been stored.
