Butler County, KAN.—
Authorities release new information about an explosion that killed a propane worker and injured two others. It happened last week at Global Propane in Butler County.
Fire officials say 40 year-old Jeffrey Burnham was refueling a tank when the hose he was using broke away and started flailing around sprewing propane. That hose made contact with something - possibly the ground or a wall - which caused a spark that ignited the gas.
Two other employees tried to help Burnham and pull him to safety. They suffered burns. Burnham died from his injuries.
