WAGNER OF HOOPER BADLY BURNED IN BLAST Explosion Is Cause of Injury to Fire Chief HOOPER, Nov. 10 - Harry M. Wagner, chief of the Hooper volunteer fire department, was seriously burned Sunday morning by a mysterious explosion in a burning home. The explosion occurred in the Frank H. Nelson home shortly after 11:30 o'clock Sunday morning, when Wagner and other volunteer firemen were fighting flames that threatened to destroy the residence. The fire chief was standing on the roof of the kitchen which adjoins the main building. A window near him was shattered, and fragments were thrown a distance of 50 feet. The roof of the house was raised a foot in the air, and when it dropped back the whole building appeared to bulge out. Wagner sustained burns on the left side of his body and head, his left eye was closed, and his left hand and arm were painfully scorched. The cause of the explosion is not known. The fire is believed to have started in a small clothes closet. The house was heated by a coal stove, and there was fire in the stove, but there were no indications that this figured in either the origin of the fire or the subsequent explosion. Mrs. Nelson and a daughter were at church at the time. The fire was discovered by Mr. Nelson while he was standing on the street a short distance away talking to a friend. By the time firemen arrived the blaze was gaining great headway. Note - This item was typed from a clipping of the newspaper item and was sent to me by Betty Shaffer McMaster in 1991.
