Massive Propane Explosion Levels Detroit Home

The massive explosion that leveled a home Sunday evening may have been caused by propane used at the home and not from a natural gas leak. “Our investigation shows that the homeowner has not been a natural gas customer since 2004,” DTE Energy Co. spokesman Scott Simons said. “He was not hooked up to our system. We had inspectors out at the site Sunday night and understand that propane was found on the home.” On Monday morning, Battalion Fire Chief Steve Norris confirmed that propane tanks were found at the home.
