“I was shocked at the damage the explosion caused,” said Mayor Salinas. “It looks like a war zone. So much damage, but still, the citizens are staying positive and smiling through the tears. I’m glad we were able to give a little something to help the City of West, and I encourage everyone who hasn’t had a chance to make a donation to do so.”
