A blast inside a metal outbuilding in the Town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, on July 25 destroyed the structure and sent two men to a Milwaukee burn center with critical injuries, TMJ4 News reported. Investigators ruled the explosion accidental and believe a propane tank may have contributed, though the exact cause has not been established and the investigation remains active. For propane operators anywhere in the country, the detail worth sitting with is the setting: a detached outbuilding, the class of structure that sits at the edge of most service files and gets inspected least.
