propane tank that ruptured over the weekend after it was hit by a snowplow
forced more than a dozen families out
of their homes, and cleared the Saddle Brook Mall on Route 46.
The incident happened Friday shortly
after 8:30 p.m. when the bucket loader hit
the exposed feeder neck of the underground tank.
According to police, it triggered a mass response and the evacuation
of a Walmart and other stores and homes
in and around the Saddle Brook Mall.
Police say the
families living in the area weren't able to return to their homes until Saturday
after 4 a.m. amid fears of an explosion.
Repairs on the tank were
completed over the weekend.
