Sounds like a refueling fire to me.

I saw this mentioned on Facebook. Hopefully someone local can update at some point.

It was very close to where I live (20/30 minutes away)but I can't give any specifics. Local news just reported a chainsaw explosion, but that he died in the hospital due to severity of burns. @farmer steve did you hear anything more?

First I'm hearing about it.

I just listened closer to the audio recording I made of the tv report. She said "when the chainsaw he was working on exploded".

You didn't see it in our PM?

 

[Wagnerwerks]

I must have missed it. I was pretty focused on me and my latest saw project... Lol.

 

[Joe Kidd]

Red Armor will do that.

If someone could school me on sharing an .m4a file, I'll post the audio. YouTube won't let me and it's an unaccepted file here.

I checked... You were chatting while I was at church and by the time I got on track you were moving to trampoline accidents.

Might be an MP4.A File. Same as an itune type file.

I used an iPhone and the voice memo thing. Should have just video'd the news but wasn't thinking.

I wonder if gas was spilled on the muffler?

If he waa working on it maybe he was heating something with torch and something went a wire.

A quote from comments:

"Sadly, this story is lacking. Bottom line here is the deceased was working on the chain saw, apparently in a confined space, when vapors ignited. Something few think about when working with gasoline and gasoline driven products."
