Exploding Gas Tank Ignites Ovid Fire Near Home
A 150 gallon gasoline tank exploded at the Terryberry residence on Poplar Beach Rd in Ovid starting a fire that firefighters say began from a leaky filled tank used for the family car. Neighbors alerted authorities and Romulus volunteers aided with water while foam from Seneca Army Depot cooled the blaze. The fire occurred after the tank likely leaked and ignited.
