DE SOTO, Kan. -- A man had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital Thursday after he was burned in a fire in a hog barn that sparked because of pig manure.
KCTV5's Natahsa Ghoneim reported live on "KCTV5 News at Noon" that the 43-year-old man was cleaning out an empty hog barn when the overhead furnace kicked on.
The spark of the furnace ignited a methane gas buildup from the manure, and it created a flash fire.
The fire burned the man on his face, head and arms, but he was conscious. The burns were third-degree, and he was flown by helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
