Propane Leak Causes Explosion

A boat explosion that injured a 21-year-old woman last week on Lake of
the Woods was caused by a propane gas leak.
2-investigators from the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office wrapped up
their investigation of the blast over the weekend.
Officials say a propane supply line had ruptures in 3-places.
The propane collected in the hull of the houseboat and was finally
ignited by a pilot light in a refrigerator on board.
