Crews handle food truck explosion



A little after 0200 hrs CFD crews were alerted to the intersection of Ramsey Ave and Wilson Ave for a reported vehicle accident with entrapment and fire. Initial crews arrived in the area, finding a large debris field and began to investigate. Crews quickly found that there was no vehicle accident and that a food truck exploded. Crews deployed a handline, beginning to extinguish a small fire in the debris. Crews located the propane cylinders from the food truck and cooled them while securing the valve. Crews assessed the areas looking for anyone that was injured, while also assessing nearby structures. CFD crews remained on scene for several hours assisting multiple agencies with investigation, clean up and assessment of buildings.
