Two Dawson County workers were injured Wednesday night after an explosion at a propane tank refurbishment company on Easy Street off Ga. 53, just west of Ga. 400. A tractor-trailer carrying 18 to 20 residential-sized propane tanks was being unloaded when the incident occurred, Deputy Chief Tim Satterfield of the Dawson County Emergency Services said. A boom truck was offloading tanks in stacks of three when the foot of one tank caught on another tank.
