Exploding Gas Cylinders Hinder Firefighters
A FIRE IN A COMMERCIAL GARAGE IN BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND this morning caused several gas cylinders to explode, sending fireballs 100 ft. into the air and terrifying the neighborhood. The bottles started exploding just as firefighters were approaching the building, narrowly missing a tragedy.
Later this morning the fire brigade was still applying remote cooling streams and had the entire neighborhood evacuated.
The Birmingham Mail has the full STORY.
