HARRISBURG, S.D. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the cause
of a house explosion in southeast South Dakota that injured a man
and his adult daughter.
The names of the 49-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were not
immediately released. Lincoln County Emergency Manager Harold
Timmerman says the woman was treated at a Sioux Falls hospital and
the man was flown to a Minneapolis-area burn center after the blast
about 3 p.m. Monday in the house in a small rural development about
five miles northwest of Harrisburg.
Timmerman says propane gas might be related to the explosion and
fire that burned the home to the ground. The state fire marshal was
being called in Tuesday.
