Explosive fire at site housing vaping supplies kills 1 outside Detroit, sends debris a mile away

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a fire that destroyed a building housing supplies for the vaping industry caused multiple explosions, killing one person and injuring a firefighter. The blasts rocked suburban Detroit on Monday, sending gas canisters and debris shooting into the air. The Clinton Township Police Department said on Facebook that debris came down as far as a mile away. Clinton Township Fire Chief Tim Duncan said Tuesday that a shipment of butane canisters is believed to have caused the explosions. He says a 19-year-old man died after being struck by one of the containers. A firefighter was also injured when a canister struck the windshield of a fire vehicle.
