Explosion

One man was injured in an explosion and fire yesterday morning in Jamestown.
A Green River Fire Department crew and one engine responded to a report of an explosion and fire near the Westco building at 10:09, according Assistant Fire Chief Dea Cargile. Dick Blust of the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office says the explosion occurred when Larry Bingham was using a cutting torch near a 50-gallon barrel marked ‘Methanol,”. Bingham was transported to Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County and then flown to Western States Burn Center in Greeley, Colo., with second-degree burns to both legs and a possible broken arm.
