Heavy equipment is used to pick through the rubble of a home flattened by an explosion
on North Kerby Avenue across from Peninsula Park. Authorities last week determined that
the July 24 blast was caused by the homeowner making hash oil with butane. Hundreds of
butane cans were found on the property, officials said. (KPTV photo)
Hash Oil Butane Caused Deadly Blast
A massive house explosion and fire that
killed two men in north Portland, sending
glass shards and debris across the street into
Peninsula Park and damaging surrounding
homes, was caused by using butane to make
hash oil, investigators have determined.
Hashish oil is concentrated marijuana, and
its production can be a fire risk because it’s
prepared using butane.
Authorities earlier reported that a damaged
natural gas line was one of the factors that
made fighting the July 24 fire difficult, and
there was speculation the blast was caused
by a natural gas explosion.
But officials determined last week after
an investigation that a large concentration
of butane came into contact with an ignition
source and caused the blast. The ignition
source has not been determined, officials
said.
“The concentration of butane was created
by the homeowner while he was attempt-
ing to produce hash oil,” investigators said
Wednesday. The probe included officials
with Portland Fire and Rescue, Portland Po-
lice, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives and Oregon State
Police.
Authorities said Matthew McCrann, 42,
the owner of the home at 6214 N. Kerby Ave,
died at the hospital after the fire and the body
of a second victim, 68-year-old Richard Cis-
ler, was found in the debris.
Cisler’s brother, Earl, told KOIN-TV that
his brother was working at McCrann’s home
on a remodeling project.
