To quote an "inside source":

"A can of spray insulation was covered in debris, and it blew up in the faces of the investigators and one of the CVFD guys"

Interesting note. I was on the entry team and I don't recall being informed about any can of spray insulation anywhere. And by entry team I am referring to PCHMRT entry, not FD entry. Yes there were aerosol cans in the fire room. No it didn't look like spray insulation. Yes 2 investigators were sent to the hospital for evaluation--they were treated and released.

After initial size up, runoff testing, and air sampling--it was determined that the contents were ordinary household consumables. There were a few ruptured containers mostly food containers, and also a few aerosol cans.
