Rock, KS – KBSD, Joe Sheeran – For the second time in a week an explosion knocks a house down to its foundation.
Wednesday’s explosion in Cowley County sent two men to the hospital with burns. The homeowner, 36-year-old Gary Chadic, and a propane truck driver who was doing the work, 47 year old Daniel Lawless, are both in good condition in Wichita hospital.
The men were trying to light the furnace at the house for the first time when something went wrong. Within three minutes, the house was engulfed in flames.
It happened just before noon, a few miles west of the town of Rock in Cowley County.
