“Restoring Homes and Residents in Warren Michigan can be thankful that a large building explosion that occurred late in the evening on May 4th has not claimed any lives. The path of destruction looks similar to a war zone as debris and destruction can be scene nearly one mile from the initial explosion. Early reports indicate that a large manufacturing plant exploded, most likely from natural gas. The building sent debris, concrete and metal hundreds of yards, causing substantial damages to surrounding buildings. The emergency response team from Jarvis was called out to the scene Wednesday evening to begin boarding up and securing nearby structures. Today, Jarvis is working to help clean debris and secure properties during the initial damage phase assessment. Jarvis's disaster construction division will be assisting with rebuilding and repairing numerous structures and homes throughout the affected area.
