A fire with a small explosion that happened on O’Donnell Road in Eldred Township between Sunday and Yesterday has been ruled accidental.
The Sigel fire department requested a State Police Fire Marshall to investigate the cause and origin of the blaze that caused around $2,000 in damages to the property. It was determined the fire originated in a small plastic garbage can and spread to some plastic shelving in a breezeway connecting the house and garage. An aerosol ruptured causing the sliding doors to become dislodged.
The fire self extinguished and didn’t damage the main house or garage. No one was injured.
