Firefighters in Tomah have called-in an outside expert to look at the explosion involved in last Friday’s fire downtown.
The city’s fire chief, Tim Adler, says the explosion came before the first that burned the Sassy Girl Aroma shop to the ground. No one was hurt in the explosion or the fire, though two firefighters suffered minor injuries while fighting the fire. The chief says they’ve ruled-out a natural gas leak, but he’s not saying what else may have caused the explosion. The fire at Sassy Girl came just a few months after another fire gutted the Chinese restaurant in downtown Tomah.
