Narrative
A gas fire occurred at the building wall of a steel pole barn at moore trosper construction company (4226 keller road in holt, mi) on february 19. Release of gas was apparently caused by falling ice, which damaged the building's gas meter stand and separated it from the building wall. The source of ignition is believed to be a gas furnace on the interior side of the wall where the fire occurred. Adjacent to the gas service/meter was a large air intake to supply outside air to the furnace. This intake duct was the apparent path of gas migration into the furnace, where it was ignited. Gas was shutoff at the branch service connection (to 4228 keller) by the responding gas distribution crew. The fire was contained to the south building wall of the pole barn at 4226 keller, but fire damage occurred both inside and outside the building. Inside water damage from fire suppression activities caused further property damage to the building. Keller road was blocked off by the responding fire department. This incident received significant attention from local tv and print media.
