A federal agency will inspect a piece of natural gas pipe as regulators investigate an explosion that killed two people at a Detroit-area furniture store
WAYNE (AP) -- Brian Ballinger of the Michigan Public Service Commission tells the Detroit Free Press that the pipe has been shipped to Houston for evaluation.
Consumers Energy says it received two calls about a smell of gas Wednesday before an explosion destroyed the William C. Franks Furniture store in Wayne. The owner was rescued, but two employees were killed.
The street in front of the store was reopened Friday. Businesses are open, too, except ones that were connected to the furniture store or close to it.
City Manager Robert English says structural integrity still is a concern.
