Home Explodes! Evidence Suggests Common-Sense a Suspect

A very unfortunate family in Ogden lost their home this weekend. Apparently, the family was heating their home with a propane heater. The unit was leaking. Rather than removing the leaking propane tank to an outdoor area, the family cloistered it away in a part of the house where they would not have to smell it. Whoops!

Let this be a reminder to all of us that safety comes first. I am moving my acetylene tanks and cans of paint thinner away from my furnace for now on.
