More pictures are in the Frederick County, MD safety bulletin
These pictures were first sent to me last week by a regular STATter911.com reader. There was only minimal information indicating the manifold had exploded somewhere in New Jersey (UPDATE: Information now indicates it was Lambertville). I was unable to find out any details about the incident.
Another reader has forwarded this safety bulletin from the Frederick County Fire & Rescue Services in Maryland. The April 3 bulletin indicates the manifold (or street hydrant) “exploded in New Jersey on Saturday (March 28) night during water tender filling at a multi-alarm fire”. It reports that two firefighters were treated for minor injuries.
I still have been unable to find information elsewhere on the web about the incident. If you know the details please send them to dstatter@wusa9.com.
