Juvenile Burned In Explosion, Flash Fire
November 23, 2011
A teen was burned in an explosion and flash fire at a Santa Rosa County home Wednesday afternoon.
Initial reports indicate that the 13-year old male was playing with camping fuel on the back porch of a residence on John Hamm Road. It somehow ignited, causing an explosion and flash fire, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.
The male was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital and later transferred the UAB Burn Center in Birmingham.
Narcotics and Major Crimes investigators from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and determined that the fire was not a result of any narcotic activity. The incident remains under investigation; names and further details have not yet been released.
