UPDATE, November 2019:

Court documents show the Delta Saloon is suing Amerigas in connection to an explosion that happened in March.

The documents allege that Amerigas was called to refill the propane tanks for Delta Saloon, and that they did so carelessly.

The documents claim the explosion was caused by negligent conduct in filling the propane tank by Amerigas.

It goes on to state that the day before the explosion, Amerigas failed to properly inspect the thank, regulators and premises. Court documents say Amerigas could not initially refill the tank, but returned later that day to complete assigned tasks of checking the regulators, the system and refilling the tank.

The documents say Amerigas knew, or should have known that the propane tank was empty when it initially arrived to refill, and should have known the dangers in refilling an empty tank.

The documents go on to state Amerigas allegedly knew, or should have known, that refilling the empty tank could cause a leak.

The Delta Saloon is claiming negligence, breach of contract, and damages in excess of $3 million.

UPDATE, March 2019: Storey County E-Comm Center says C Street has been reopened.

They said B Street between Taylor Street and Sutton Street has been reopened as well, but Union Street between C Street and B Street will remain closed until further notice.

Storey County officials say all emergency crews have been released from the scene as of Tuesday night.

They said the investigation is still ongoing into what caused the explosion.

An investigation is underway after an explosion at The Delta Saloon in Virginia City. A portion of B Street is currently closed. 

It happened just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, causing damage to the front of the building on C Street and back of the building on B Street. 

The explosion damaged the northwest corner of the building, as seen in photos. Witnesses say the windows were blown out on the east of the building.

“I thought someone drove into the building so I went outside to look and realized glass all over and Delta windows blew out," says Bonnie Johnson of Comstock Rock Shop.  

Authorities tell us one man was inside the saloon when the explosion happened. Thankfully he suffered only minor injuries. 

Authorities say they do not believe the explosion was suspicious and are waiting for the fire marshal to determine the cause of the explosion. 

As a precaution, gas and electricity are off inside the saloon. State health officials also responded. 

"At least it happened in the morning when there’s not a lot of people, we get days where you can barely walk down the boardwalk because there are so many people," says resident Collin Willie.

Storey County says NDF, NDOT and NHP all helped with the cleanup. 

All other C Street businesses are open.
