On Wednesday afternoon, a significant explosion involving a propane tank occurred on Walnut Street in Lawrenceburg, resulting in the complete destruction of a residence. The incident was attributed to a 20-pound propane tank, commonly utilized for grilling purposes, which detonated and led to a fire that engulfed the house. In addition to the primary structure, an outbuilding on the property also sustained damage due to the explosion.
The Lawrenceburg Fire Department responded promptly to the scene and was able to extinguish several smaller fires that ignited in the surrounding neighborhood as a consequence of the blast. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries stemming from this incident; however, the house itself has been classified as a total loss due to the extensive damage it incurred.
