Man injured in gas explosion
MOOSIC - A borough man was taken to a hospital after he suffered burns when a 20-pound propane tank ignited Thursday.
The man, who was not identified by officials Thursday night, was injured at 807 Eighth St. about 4:30 p.m. Moosic Fire Chief Chuck Molinaro said the explosion happened when the man started a motorcycle near the propane tank, which had been accidentally tipped over.
The incident created a small flash fire that was contained, Chief Molinaro said.
The chief said the man was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center. Information about his injuries and condition was not available Thursday.
