4/23/13 - An explosion at the Dexter Wastewater Treatment Plant yesterday left one man dead and another injured. The blast occurred while the two men were apparently working with a welding torch inside a tank at the facility. Methane in the tank was ignited by the torch and exploded, critically injuring the two men. They were found on the roof of a nearby building by Dexter firefighters, who had them transported to the University of Michigan hospital for treatment. One man died of his injuries, but the other was last listed in stable condition. The blast from the explosion was felt by residents and businesses in the surrounding area. The Washtenaw County Sheriffâs Office is currently investigating the explosion. Picture courtesy of myFOXdetroit.com. (JK)
