Boom Daddy's Fireworks Warehouse Goes Two Days Without an Incident, Tying Company Record

LOS SANTOS. The Boom Daddy's Fireworks warehouse near the west end of Los Santos International Airport went two consecutive days without an incident on Saturday, matching the longest streak in the company's 38-year history.

The milestone was recorded on the safety board beside the loading dock, which staff update by hand each morning. For most of October the board read zero. A note written in marker at the bottom lists the previous record as two.

Founder Dale "Boom Daddy" Haskins marked the occasion by buying a sheet cake for the warehouse floor. Employees confirmed the cake arrived without candles. "We had a talk about candles," said warehouse lead Kevin Ruiz. "A long talk."

What counts as an incident

The company would not say what qualifies as an incident. A Boom Daddy's spokesperson said the definition is "set internally and reviewed regularly," and described a small fire on Thursday involving a display crate and a forklift as "a product demonstration."

The San Andreas Fire Marshal's Office said it was aware of the board and "continues to monitor the site from a respectful distance." The office did not respond to questions about how far that distance is.

Two days is two days. Nobody can take that from us, unless something happens tomorrow.

Customers at the warehouse's retail counter on Saturday appeared unconcerned. "I've been buying here for years," said a man from Harmony who declined to give his name while loading twelve cases of Neighbor's Regret into a pickup truck. "If the place were dangerous, somebody would have closed it by now."

Nobody has. The warehouse's operating permit has been under review since 2011.

As of Sunday morning the board read three, a new company record. Boom Daddy's said it would not comment on the achievement until it had "held for a full business day."
