Structure Fire North Logan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**UPDATE** February 12, 0609
The homeowner had made some repairs to a natural gas vehicle which was parked in the garage. It is believed the repairs were not successful which caused natural gas to leak from the vehicle's tank until an ignition source was contacted, a short distance from the vehicle. There were several explosions cause by propane canisters stored in the garage. The contents of several rooms as well as the basement were able to be saved, however, due to the partial collapse of the roof the structure is not habitable.

There was some heat damage to the siding of a neighboring house but firefighters were able to keep it cool enough to prevent the fire from spreading.

There were no reported injuries, the residents are being cared for by neighbors and the homeowner's three cats were rescued.

Fire units will remain on scene for several hours.
