WARREN, Mich. — Local authorities are investigating a Wednesday night explosion that reduced Best Textile Services, a commercial laundry in this north Detroit suburb, to rubble.
Investigators from the Warren Fire Department and other agencies are trying to determine what caused the 8:15 p.m. blast that rattled homes and businesses several miles away.
They are looking into the possibility that the explosion was caused by a gas leak, says Warren Police Lt. Michael Torey, and local gas company Consumers Energy has been contacted.
