MPD's bomb squad recently assisted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with the disposal of approximately 20,000 pounds of seized fireworks over the course of three and a half days in Glasscock County. Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo's bomb squads were also there to assist. The fireworks were seized through a large case worked by the ATF. The opportunity and training received on this disposal was incredibly helpful for our local bomb technicians.
