Propane Explosion at Picnic Point Wastewater Treatment Plan in Edmonds, Washington

On Thursday, February 23, 2012, a propane tank exploded at the Picnic Point Waste Water Treatment Plant in Edmonds, Washington.  The blast injured five workers at the plant and they were taken to Harborview Medical Center for burns related to the blast.  Two of the workers have life-threatening injuries. 

According to news accounts, the explosion occurred around 11:00 a.m. as a 1,000 gallon propane tank was being loaded onto a truck. About 300 gallons of propane remained in the tank, when it shifted and a valve was severed, causing the truck and tank to explode.
