FARGO, N.D. (AP) - One person has been injured in an explosion that destroyed a residential garage in Fargo.

Firefighters responded to the call shortly before midnight Thursday.

Battalion Chief Jason Ness says an attached double garage had collapsed on two vehicles inside. The house with multiple apartments was evacuated.



Ness tells KFGO a propane tank inside the garage leaked and exploded, caused by some type of ignition source. A man was in or near the entrance to the garage when the explosion happened and received minor injuries.
