Fort Worth fire investigators are still working on the cause of last week's fire that could have caused a devastating explosion.

When the first call came in, firefighters were sent to a recycling yard on Shamrock Avenue just west of Jacksboro Highway.


We're now learning that several propane tanks were on fire and the flames were threatening a line of oxygen tanks.

The recycling yard backs right up to the popular Trinity Trail foot and bicycle path which police immediately closed out of an abundance of caution.

Firefighters surrounded the fire from several angles and poured water on the burning tanks as fast as they could.

The flames were doused with no explosions and no one was hurt.
