Green Brook Police Investigate Exploding Gas Tank

A small explosion caused by a worker at Perone's Auto Salvage cutting an acetylene tank with a sheering machine sent a chunk of metal flying through the air—but caused no injuries—at 2:33 p.m. June 14.

According to the police report, employees reported a two-foot square section of metal crashing into the property. Responding police traced it back to Perone's, where they were told of the worker's accident.

Managers at Perone's said they would not be having workers use the machines to cut tanks again.
