"...the man being sought was last seen in the Delaware County community of Lester."

Probably not connected but, isn't the Dupont Explosives engineering plant somewhere around those parts? Mebbe he takes his work home with him...?

Explosion Takes Place In Westinghouse Factory No Injuries Reported

UPDATED: 6:37 p.m. EDT September 3, 2002

TINICUM TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- An explosion at the Westinghouse factory in Tinicum Township Tuesday filled the skies of Delaware County with billows of black smoke after several propane tanks apparantly exploded.

Fire officials told NBC 10 that the fire at the Tinicum Industrial Park was sparked by the explosion of several propane tanks that were on the roof of the complex at 10 Industrial Hwy.

The fire took place in the A Complex building of the park and the building where the explosions took place held a documents storage business.

The fire was quickly brought under control and officials believe that the damage was confined to the roof of the building. Chief Robert Lithgow of the Tinicum Police Department said that roofing work was being done on the building and the roofers had left for the day. He said the propane tanks apparantly exploded for some unknown reason.

The only injury reported was a firefighter who was hospitalized for heat exhaustion.
