    Explosion, fire heavily damage Wichita business

    WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Investigators are trying to determine what caused an explosion and fire inside of a downtown Wichita business.

    KFDI reports that no one was hurt in the blaze.

    Wichita police responded to a report of alarms sounding late Thursday at Hall Industrial Services. When they arrived they found overhead doors had been blasted open and smoke and fire coming from the building.

    Battalion Chief Bobby Wolfe says explosions inside the building likely were caused by compressed gas canisters and propane tanks inside the business.

    Wolfe said the building was heavily damaged. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
