Explosion rocks downtown Shawville

An explosion decimated part of Hayes Funeral Homes’ crematorium in Shawville on Thursday, cutting power to part of the town for several hours. Police say the explosion was caused by a piece of high-pressure machinery that malfunctioned. Funeral home owner Greg Hayes told The Equity Friday morning that he would be releasing a statement on the incident shortly. (Photo submitted)
