Seven workers were injured last night – three of them critically – when dozens of explosions and a fire ripped through a propane tank servicing plant in central Florida. Residents living within a mile of the facility were ordered to evacuate their homes.
News sources reported that approximately two dozen workers were on duty at the 33,000-acre Blue Rhino facility in Tavares, 40 miles northwest of Orlando, at the time of the blasts, which began around 10:30 p.m. EST.
