SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- An explosion at a Central Texas home has injured two people, authorities say.
The victims were airlifted from the New Braunfels area to Brooke Army Medical Center on Sunday night following the blast. They sustained second- and third-degree burns over 30 percent to 50 percent of their bodies. Their names have not been released.
Neighbors had reported smelling propane in the area recently, New Braunfels Fire Department battalion chief Frank Gonzales told the San Antonio Express-News in Monday's online edition.
He said the single-story house exploded at about 6 p.m. Sunday.
Investigators stayed at the house until early Monday in an effort to determine what caused the explosion. It occurred in a rural subdivision outside the city limits. No other homes were damaged.
New Braunfels is about 30 miles north of San Antonio.
