Tanker explodes in back of FS building

Angie Faller
Effingham Daily News

A worker escaped injury when an old fuel storage tanker exploded Monday afternoon in the back of Effingham-Clay Farm Services at 410 S. Willow St.

FS Facility Manager Steve Kuhns said a worker was using a cutting torch on a supposedly empty tanker when some residual diesel fuel ignited.

Effingham Fire Department responded to a call at 1:57 p.m. and used water to cool the tank.

Workers reported hearing a boom and felt the FS building shake when the explosion occurred.

Fire Chief Joe Holomy said there is no chance of another explosion and no environmental danger.

Look for more details in Tuesday's edition of the Effingham Daily News.
