07/05 Stop & Shop LPG Fire

A small LPG explosion occurred inside the bakery section of stop & shop. Units arrived to find a small propane fed fire in the ceiling above the bakery ovens. The propane lines to the building were secured & crews began their investigation. Engine 1 secured a line to the FDC & Truck 1 went to the roof. Engine 2 (the second due Engine) stretched a 300ft, 2" line to the bakery. Crews were able to secure the gas line & contain the fire. LEL readings remained at 0 and companies cleared a short while later.
