Witnesses reported seeing mist which firemen said could
have been caused by gas leaking from a loading dock.
“ I saw a fog enveloping the whole
area,” said Edward C. Jestromb manager of a
neighborhood furniture store. Jestromb said he saw
the Blachly’s Volkswagon
“start into the fog. When the car got in, the whole fog ignited.”
Robert Blachly, 31, who was in
the car with his wife and children, was burned seriously. William A. Jones,
operator of a service a few hundred yards away, said he found Blachly sitting on some batteries shortly after the first
explosion.
“He didn’t have any clothes on,” Jones said, “and he was
bent over, not saying anything.”
The fourth person killed was O. C. Williams, 46, service
manager of Fuelgas Corp.
Three Fuelgas buildings were
destroyed by the 30 to 40 explosions, and Fire Chief Richard Myers estimated
damage at $250, 000.
Police said they believed propane gas leaked from a broken
line on a truck that had just been filled with gas.
Firemen said the initial blast could have been touched off
by a spark from Blachly’s car or by an overhead
system in a garage near the loading dock of from some other source.
