COLUMBUS (AP) – Investigators have pinpointed the cause of an explosion that destroyed a South Side home.
The Columbus Dispatch reports a defective installation of a gas shut-off valve for a stove was at fault for Tuesday’s explosion in Columbus. Fire investigators say the incident was accidental.
Investigators say the leak occurred after Jack Morris, 69, disconnected the stove and changed the gas shut-off valve.
Morris and his three-year-old great-granddaughter were treated at hospitals for burns and are expected to recover.
