Propane Leak Sparks Tragic Explosion | Baltimore News

A deadly propane explosion in Cape St. Claire was ruled an accident triggered by a gas leak during HVAC work—when a metal grinder sparked the buildup. The homeowner, who has a reduced sense of smell, didn’t detect the danger until it was too late, killing 76-year-old Linda Synowczynski. The homeowner and a responding officer were injured. Fire officials warn: never attempt DIY gas repairs or use spark-producing tools; if you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call for help. Smell alone isn’t reliable—always hire professionals.
