Propane Blast Damages Oregon Frat House
McMINNVILLE, Ore. - The McMinnville, Ore., fire marshal says a propane explosion at a Linfield College fraternity house dislodged doors and windows and blew one corner of the house off its foundation.
Eric McMullen says no occupants were in the Pi Kappa Alpha house at the time of Thursday's blast. The building has now been declared unsafe to occupy.
The fire marshal says a propane heater was being used in the basement of the building, which was being renovated. McMullen says propane leaked from loose connections on a hose and ignited.

One frat brother said to another..."That party is going to be a blast"....don't think that is what he had in mind. :>
