This caused a 120-gallon tank of propane to catch fire. Two employees suffered significant burns but were still able to quickly follow procedures and shut off the main gas to other propane sources. Their heroism prevented what could have been a much larger-scale emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the 57- and 66-year-old males were airlifted to a local hospital and are currently in critical condition. The preliminary investigation from the Pierce County Fire Marshal indicates this was an accident, but the investigation is ongoing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Large Propane Fire Leaves Two in Critical Condition\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1gUpEd-d9UM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 11th&nbsp;at 2pm, 911 calls came in regarding a large fire that occurred at a propane facility at the 15800 block of 66th Ave.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
