LP GAS CYLINDER LEAKED, GAS BUILT UP IN HOUSE AND IGNITED

SOME EMPLOYEES WORKING IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FRAME RESIDENCE WERE USING LP GAS-FIRED HEATERS FOR TEMPORARY HEAT. THEY WERE STORING 100 POUND LP GAS CONTAINERS IN THE STRUCTURE UNTIL THEY WERE NEEDED. ONE CYLINDER LEAKED SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES OF GAS TO CREATE AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. AN UNDETERMINED SOURCE OF IGNITION CAUSED AN EXPLOSION, WHICH BURNED EMPLOYEES #1 AND #2. THEY RECEIVED SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS. THE STRUCTURE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED.
