Detroit Food Truck Owner Severely Burned in Propane Tank Explosion | Eater Detroit

"The owner was severely injured when a propane tank ignited as he tried to light the truck’s fryers while preparing for a west riverfront cigar festival with his children; the kids escaped, and he used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames before being taken to the hospital. He is receiving treatment for second-degree burns to his hands, face, and side, and the mobile restaurant is currently out of commission. The family has launched a GoFundMe to help rebuild the truck while he recuperates, with nearly $1,300 raised toward an $8,000 goal, and the local food truck community and fans have been contributing as the family focuses on recovery and getting back on the street." - Brenna Houck
