Police investigating a fatal blaze at a fireworks warehouse have released the names of the two people they believe were killed in the explosion.
Simon Hillier, 41, and Stewart Staples, 57, are understood to have died in the fire at SP Plastics on 30 October, Staffordshire Police has said.
Although it could take some weeks to formally identify the victims, evidence found at the site has placed both men at the warehouse.
Supt Ian Coxhead said: "Our sympathies remain with the families involved and we're doing everything we can to help them at this distressing time. It is believed Simon was working at the premises while it's thought Stewart was a customer.
"We anticipate this will be a lengthy and complex investigation. Our work to establish the cause of the fire is going to take considerable time."
A man in his 40s remains in a critical condition at Birmingham Hospital after Thursday's explosion, and is suffering from serious burns. Another victim has been discharged and is recuperating at home.
Police have said the warehouse is completely destroyed, and described the building as a "dangerous scene".
The unit, based on an industrial estate, had been used to store "a significant volume of fireworks" for four years, and Staffordshire County Council has confirmed that "no safety issues" had been reported with the company.
It took hours for dozens of firefighters to bring the blaze under control. One witness described the "deafening and constant noise" as fireworks detonated in the heat.
Police have released a 53-year-old man who had been arrested in connection with the explosion, and he is now being treated as a witness.
