WHITMAN, MASS. (WHDH) - A propane tank went up in flames in Whitman on Wednesday, sending one man to the hospital.
Firefighters responding to a reported fire at a home on School Street around 6:45 p.m. found a 35-year-old man suffering from first and second-degree burns as the result of a flash fire ignited by a grill.
The man was airlifted to a Boston hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation suggests the man disconnected the propane tank before turning the grill off.
