Four people injured in a fire at Great Yorkshire Show
Four people were taken to hospital after an explosion at a horse show in North Yorkshire.
A propane cylinder exploded causing a burger van to catch fire at the Great Yorkshire Show at around 11.30am on 27th August.
When crews arrived, they extinguished the van fire and also cooled two more 19kg propane cylinders which were close to the fire.
A spokeswoman for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service said that four people were treated at the scene, and another four people were taken to a hospital in Harrogate with minor injuries.
One eyewitness said: “People were saying something had exploded and a fire ball came out of it. I heard a bang and when I looked across we saw the van was on fire. Apparently, a few people have been quite badly burned and were with paramedics. I think two people working in there were quite badly burned.”
