During a news conference Tuesday morning, the Clinton Township fire chief said that a 19-year-old was fatally struck by a projectile from the explosion while he was a quarter mile down the road.
“Just a tremendous amount of fire,” Clinton Fire Chief Tim Duncan said. “In my 25 years, I’ve been on a few big fires – This by far was the biggest one I’ve ever seen.”
Police reported that the fire occurred at a building shared by Goo and Select Distributors — these businesses list smoke shop products such as nitrous oxide, CBD and electronic vapes.
“We did find out that it was this company called ‘Goo,’” Duncan said. “They are a distributor to the vaping community in the area. They received a truckload of butane within the past week and they still had over half of that left. This is what you’re seeing strewn throughout the area. You had nitrous, you had butane and they had some other products in there.”
