LA GRANDE, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police say a propane explosion demolished a building in northeastern Oregon.

Fire crews in La Grande responded shortly before noon Thursday to Ed Staub & Sons Petroleum, finding the shop fully engulfed.

Police say nobody was inside during the explosion and there were no injuries. The blaze prompted a temporary evacuation of an RV park.



The fire investigation remains active.
