A devastating explosion in Bagley, Minnesota, has left five brothers hospitalized with severe burns. The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, November 4, when a man lit a cigarette inside a metal storage unit where a propane tank had been leaking, leading to an explosion.
The injured boys, aged between 6 and 14, were airlifted in critical condition to a burn center in Hennepin County. Their older sister, Kyra Frank, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support their single mother during this challenging time. As of Tuesday, November 5, the fundraiser had garnered nearly $22,000 towards its $50,000 goal.
The Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident, emphasizing the dangers of propane leaks and the importance of proper storage and handling of flammable materials. The community has rallied around the family, offering support and donations to aid in the boys’ recovery.
