When the man tried to light the gas stove in his hunting lodge on Wednesday, a deflagration reportedly occurred. The man was burned on his face and upper arms. Rescue workers treated the 71-year-old at his home and then took him to a clinic. Firefighters also inspected the hunting lodge and gave the all-clear after checking it with a measuring device.
