A SPARK from an oxypropane torch, used to heat metal, set fire to a canister of gas at a welders' yard in Darwen.
The blaze started in Springvale Road at 9.30pm yesterday.
All the workers were evacuated and two fire crews from Darwen waited until the gas had burnt out before entering the area and extinguishing a small fire in some wooden blocks.
