Summary

The Beaver Island Fire Department reportedly conducted a propane training exercise beside the gravel pit in mid-October 2006. The forum description says the propane flow was controlled by a valve for emergency shutdown and that spectators watched the exercise.

Evidence limits

The event is preserved from a forum explanation of an October cover image. No official training record, incident report, or newspaper account has been located, so the date and operational details remain provisional.
