“On behalf of the City of Rancho Cordova, we are deeply saddened about this tragic accident. That it happened on Christmas Eve only worsens a horrific occurrence. Our hearts go out to the victims still suffering from both physical and psychological wounds. Our prayers for a full recovery go out to our two neighbors, Sunny and Kim Dickson—and their families–still hospitalized.
Our City Staff and Council Members have been very attentive to the immediate and long-term needs of the residents as a result of the explosion. We have met with as many people face-to-face as we could locate. We have attempted at every step to provide comfort and solace. We understand that those who witnessed the accident are injured emotionally as well and we are doing whatever we can to provide solace.
We plan to work closely with the agencies in charge of the investigation to ensure a seamless process and effective communications with the community.”
