An explosion that injured six people on the Kansas State Fair was attributable to a canned food that became too hot while stored near a food warmer, investigators said Wednesday.
The explosion occurred Tuesday night at a food truck called Fry Shack. Authorities said two people were hospitalized following the explosion and fire. Both were treated for lacerations and released later Tuesday.
Four other people reported injuries but didn’t seek medical treatment.
The reason behind the hearth was determined by investigators from the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Hutchinson Fire Department.
The 10-day state fair attracts about 350,000 people annually and ends on Sunday.
