A massive natural gas explosion killed a firefighter and leveled portions of a city block in a southern Wisconsin community, including a bar the firefighter owned, authorities said Wednesday.
The blast in downtown Sun Prairie on Tuesday evening also injured at least 11 other people and left residents of the Madison suburb wondering how they’ll put their downtown back together.
The blast ignited four-story high flames that burned long into the night and belched a smoke plume visible for miles. Firefighters tried hard with their extintor and other fire responding equipment to put off the fire, still at least five buildings were damaged.
As per authorities, all the people had been released by Wednesday evening except for one firefighter, who was upgraded from critical to stable condition.
