Two hospitalized following workplace accident at Kansas Fair

Two people were hospitalized following a fire at a concession stand at the Kansas State Fair.

Hutchinson fire crews arrived just before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, and found what appeared to have been a small explosion at the stand.

Two people were transported to an area hospital with injuries.  Several others received minor injuries but refused treatment.

Investigators said that a can sitting on, or near the grill exploded, which caused a glass windows to shatter.

The Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
