Man hospitalized after outhouse explosion Tuesday |
|
A man was hospitalized for burns after he lit a cigarette in a portable outhouse and the outhouse exploded.
MECCA said that at about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday, Monongalia Emergency Medical Services responded to a burn call at the Clay-Battelle Community Health Center on the Mason-Dixon Highway in Blacksville.
The spokesperson said a man, whose identity is not being released, was inside a portable outhouse when the explosion occurred.
The methane gases inside the outhouse didn't "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, the spokesperson said.http://www.dominionpost.com/a/news/2004/07/14/ag/
