REXBURG, Idaho (KIFI) - The Madison Fire Department responded to a structure fire Sunday just after 11 p.m. at the Twin Pines Manor apartments, located at 160 N. 1st W.
A neighbor called 911 reporting a fire in an apartment with explosions and injuries.
The burn victim was the only occupant of the apartment where the explosion occurred and was able to get out to the sidewalk. All other occupants of surrounding apartments were evacuated without injuries.
Authorities say fumes from a fuel can in the apartment ignited when a portable heater was turned on. The fumes exploded, resulting in an explosion that blew the door to a neighboring apartment open and blew out the windows to two others. The fire quickly spread from the initial apartment into three other apartments.
