MILLERSVILLE, Md. — A man was badly burned Wednesday morning after a storage container exploded in Millersville.
It happened just after 9am in the 1500 block of Jabez Run.
Anne Arundel County Fire officials say the victim opened the container, and about a minute later it blew up.
Another man who tried rescuing the victim also suffered minor burn injuries.
Investigators say the fire was accidental.
Apparently a leaky propane tank inside the container ignited when a heavy piece of equipment was started.
The fire itself was quickly extinguished, but the victim remains hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
