Title
Firemen at the scene of the American Fireworks Company explosion
Description
This American Fireworks Company, located somewhere in Randolph, possibly on Mill St. or Highland Ave., was a different company from the one that manufactured detonators for the Navy during World War II. A massive explosion leveled the business on November 24, 1958, killing at least one and injuring many. In this image, firemen and volunteers survey the wreckage of the site, mostly consisting of splinters on the ground and a wrecked car.
