Firefighter’s wife injured at convention

An embarrassing incident at the Iowa Firefighters Convention in Monticello, as the wife of a volunteer firefighter was burned in a camper stove fire. A small explosion occurred when the woman’s husband attempted to light the stove. Firefighters put the fire out in a short time. The woman was treated and released for minor injuries. Investigators say the explosion happened because a gas line in the camper had not been properly capped.
