TAMAQUA, Pa. — Dispatchers in Schuylkill County say a gas explosion took place at a well-known restaurant in Tamaqua on Sunday morning.
According to dispatchers, the explosion occurred in the kitchen at La Dolce Casa on West Broad Street.
Channel 69 News reported that a tank filled with liquid propane gas attached to an oven caused the explosion. The explosion blew open the oven's door — putting it out of service, according to Tamaqua Fire Chief James Connely.
