Faribault

Somehow during grilling the 20 pound liquid petroleum (LP) cylinder fell off it's holder and the hose broke. This released pressurized LP which started the fire. Chief Dienst said today, "It was basically a flame thrower."

Faribault area parents received a phone call late this morning notifying them of a reported threat at Faribault Middle School, which police felt was not credible. Two hours later a student came forward and confessed to the threat.
