Woman Injured In House Explosion

February 14, 2025 by Mable Cundiff


Authorities are investigating an explosion that left a woman with life-threatening burns in eastern Kentucky.

According to Kentucky State Police, the East Bernstadt Fire Department responded to a home explosion Wednesday afternoon. When firefighters arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames.

Shirley Wynn, 66, suffered severe burns over 80% of her body. She was eventually taken to a burn treatment center in Louisville, where she remains.

Investigators believe propane gas from a floor space heater may have caused the explosion. The investigation is ongoing.
