The lack of adequate controls for the installation of propane gas stations in urban areas again became news. Yesterday two people suffered serious burns when a propane gas tanker which was unloading10,480 gallons of gas at the Gloria Comercial station on Calle Maria Montez 36 in Villa Juana caught fire. The injured are plant supervisor Luis Guzman and the truck driver. The fire occurred at 3pm and caused damage to 12 homes in the area around the plant. The flames also affected a small tire depot and 4 vehicles that were at the propane gas station at the time. The fire was caused by a gas leak in one of the hoses.
