Is Your FEMA Trailer Leaking Propane?

The blast, which followed the January explosion of another Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer, appeared to have been sparked by a lit cigarette igniting propane gas that had seeped into the travel camper, fire officials said.

In January, another FEMA trailer exploded in Harvey from an apparent propane gas leak, inflicting second- and third-degree burns on two contract workers who were checking it before delivery, the newspaper reported.

Sheesh. They can't even get the friggen trailers right. There is always something wrong with the government contractors. Pay them the big bucks, of course, and to maximize their profits from an already bloated profit margin, do shoddy work and use defective parts and equipment, bought on the cheap. People's lives be damned! It's all about the profit.
