The loss of eight lives in the Longview paper mill explosion is a heartbreaking tragedy for our community.
Today, we join countless others across Washington in mourning the workers who lost their lives and in extending our deepest condolences to their families, friends, and coworkers. Our thoughts also remain with those who were injured, the families forever changed by this tragedy, and the first responders who answered the call in the aftermath.
As the investigation continues, we hope those affected receive the answers, support, and accountability they deserve.
From all of us at Herrmann Law Group, our hearts are with everyone impacted by this devastating event.
At least eight are now confirmed dead, and firefighters believe there are three more bodies they have yet to reach, making the crisis the worst industrial disaster in the state’s modern history.
