Baffled
fire investigators in Portland, Oregon, say they don’t know the cause
of an explosion that occurred in a woman’s kitchen after she finished
cooking tofu. Paul Corah, spokesman for Portland Fire & Rescue, said
firefighters responded to an apartment building shortly after 8:15 p.m.
Sunday and found a woman crying outside. The woman, who had a light
burn on her hand, told investigators she had been cooking tofu when the
explosion, which blasted a 4-by-6-foot window out of the building,
occurred as she was rinsing off the pan. Corah said natural gas is not
suspected to have been behind the blast. “We’re scratching our heads,”
he said. “We’re all baffled.” The blast caused an estimated $15,000 in
damage to the building.
