Two Killed In An Explosion In Oakland Warehouse

An explosion and fire at a Pacific Gas and Electric Co warehouse and operations center in Oakland killed Francisco Tombly, 58, a polio victim, and Cedrick C. Helmuth, while five others were hurt. A repair man uncapped a gas main on the first floor and an electric heater nearby likely triggered the blast. About 200 employees evacuated as flames engulfed the two story building. Damage was pegged at about 200000 dollars by a PG&E spokesman, though fire officials estimated up to a million. Tombly left a widow and four children.
