Sioux Falls Apartment Explosion



    SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - No one was seriously hurt in a Sioux
Falls apartment explosion.
     The blast that produced heavy smoke and triggered the building's
sprinkler system prompted the evacuation of the downtown apartment
building Tuesday night. Police say a tenant in the third-floor
apartment where the blast occurred told authorities he was cooking
french fries at the time.
     The tenant suffered minor injuries. Damage to the building
wasn't immediately determined.
