Update: State Fair Food Truck Explosion

 

The Kansas State Fire Marshall concludes their investigation into an explosion at the Kansas State Fair.

 

The cause of the incident was a canned food item, which had been stored too close to a food warmer. The canned food item got too hot, causing it to explode. The Hutchinson Fire Department was called to the state Fair Grounds to discover the food truck that had a small explosion. The exploding can blew out the trailer windows causing broken glass to spray out.

 

Reno County EMS responded to six injured people. Three declined medical assistance and one declined medical evaluation. Two were transported to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center where they were treated for lacerations and discharged that same evening.
