Butane Fire On City Outskirts
posted (August 23, 2012)
There was a major butane fire this evening at mile four and a half on the western highway.

The main thing to report at this hour is that it is under control, there was no loss of life, and, all things considered, relatively minor damage to property.

The fire started around 5:00 pm - at a small butane depot at mile four and a half. As we understand it three butane tanks caught on fire and burned - and there were multiple large, thundering explosions.

We say mini depot because the small facility only had three tanks - and all of them burned. But BRAVO Motors, which is right beside it, experienced no damages or losses.

Our team is on the scene and we'll have more later on.
