“He was working on a vehicle in the garage — the fuel tank — when somehow the fuel tank dropped, sparked and blew up,” says Kelowna Fire Platoon Captain, Tim Light.
Neighbour Mystaya Arthur heard the blast.
“I noticed he had mainly just first degree burns but he wasn’t too badly injured. They took him to the hospital.”
A boat parked just outside the garage also caught fire as a result of the blast and appeared to be heavily damaged.
