Preliminary probe finds gas leak caused Woodstock explosion & fire
Preliminary investigations indicate an explosion and fire at a business in Woodstock were caused by a gas leak.
On Thursday, night, firefighters found several LP gas cylinders on the premises.
Officials say an initial blast went off and then a fire broke out, followed by several secondary explosions.
Two people including the shop owner sustained seventy to a hundred percent burn wounds.
Mayco member JP Smith said the area was “declared safe last night”.
“And solid waste came to clear the road area of debris, so I don’t think there is any further risk.”
Two men who sustained 70 to 100% burn wounds, were transported to Groote Schuur Hospital for treatment.
