House explosion sends man to hospital with third-degree burns
JEFFERSON TWP., Montgomery County - A man was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital with third-degree burns over 75 percent of his body after an explosion inside his home late Friday night, Nov. 28.
Fire crews responded to 40 Calumet Lane just after 9 p.m. on the report of a house fire, according to a Montgomery County Sheriff’s dispatcher.
They arrived to find the man inside and part of the house blown off, scattered all over the front yard and road, according to the Jefferson Twp. Fire Department.
The fire was extinguished and investigators found no one else inside, investigators said.
It is unclear at this time what caused the explosion, but investigators said electricity and natural gas had previously been disconnected from the structure.
The man, whose identity is unknown, is in critical condition as of 11 p.m.
