Explosion Destroys Pickaway County Home

A Pickaway County man escaped injury yesterday after an explosion leveled his home. Scioto Township firefighters say the blast happened at a log home off Welch Road. The homeowner says he turned the furnace on and the explosion happened moments later. Investigators are working to determine if the propane used to heat the house is to blame for the explosion.
