The local fire department received calls Thursday morning about an explosion and fire at Propane Lafortune, but the risk of further explosions forced firefighters to retreat and they were only able to bring the fire under control in the evening.
In an emailed statement, the owners of the family-run company said they were deeply affected by the explosion and that their thoughts are with employees and their families.
