Albany Explosion Leaves Two Injured | Albany News

A second Albany city worker, Anthony Hughes, a DGS supervisor, was badly burned in an explosion on August 4th while responding to a fuel leak alongside Fire Battalion Chief Wayne Brennan. Both are recovering — Hughes is on the mend, and Brennan is getting community support through an upcoming fundraiser at Fidens Brewing on August 29th. The cause of the blast remains under investigation, but this tragic incident underscores the hidden dangers faced by public servants doing routine work — and reminds us all to stand behind those who serve.
