Garage Explosion Results in One Dead and One Injured
Two former volunteer firefighters were called into action today suddenly when something exploded in a neighbor’s garage and ignited Jimmy Seabolt and Jacob Beretta. The two neighbors, Jeff Kelton and Jason Bray, tried feverishly to put the flames out. For Jacob Beretta it was too late. He lost his life on Nov 28th while his step-father struggles with burns on 20-30% of his body. The tragic story has caused great heartache in the area where Jacob had lived since he was eight years old. WZTV reports:
Flames and black smoke could be seen in the sky throughout the neighborhood.
Neighbors say the two were working on a car in their garage, when they heard the sound of an explosion. Bray says, “Thank everybody that helped that night.”
Jacob suffered with burns on more than 90-percent of his body. Knowing he didn’t survive has left these neighbors in a state of numbness. Neighbor Jeff Kelton says, “It’s hard to believe. You’re glad he aint suffering.”
The East Robertson High School senior is remembered as a jokester. They say he liked to play around and had big hopes and dreams.
What a tragic story. We wish only the best for the family of the victims and hope Mr. Seabolt can make a full and speedy recovery.
