A propane leak led to a home explosion March 12 in rural Seward County. “We’re 99% sure it was a propane explosion,” Tamora Fire Chief Jon Propst said. The Tamora, Utica and Goehner volunteer fire departments responded to the call. Propst said firefighters were able to knock the fire down quickly but spent about three hours monitoring to make sure it didn’t flare up again.
Work is expected to begin April 1 on Highway 6 through Milford. The project by the Nebraska
Department of Transporation will reconstruct about 1 mile of the highway and widen it 6 feet on either side.
Construction will run from the railroad crossing on the north side of Milford all the way through town
to the west side of F Street.
