> A Lakewood man is in serious condition after an explosion inside a detached shop, where investigators said he was making homemade fireworks.

> Despite the force of the explosion, officials said no one else was hurt, and nearby structures did not sustain major damage.
> 
> “We’re incredibly fortunate that nobody else was hurt or within close proximity of that shed when it exploded,” [Pierce County Sheriff’s Deputy Carly] Cappetto said.

> The explosion caused structural damage to the detached shed, scattering explosive materials throughout the debris. The Pierce County bomb squad spent several hours carefully working the scene.
> 
> “It took several hours for the bomb squad to kind of sift through all the debris and locate all of the devices. I know they collected approximately 37 homemade [devices], almost looking like sticks of dynamite. Some had been empty, some were still full,” Cappetto said.
> 
> The case will be forwarded to prosecutors for review. Cappetto stressed that making homemade explosives or fireworks is illegal.
