Gettysburg House Blast Injures Baby; Natural Gas Suspected

GETTYSBURG, S.D. (AP) -€” Natural gas is believed to be the cause of an explosion that damaged a Gettysburg home and injured a baby inside.

Potter County Emergency Manager Cheryl Sautner tells the American News that the blast occurred about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the home of Scott and Lisa Quiett. Officials with Montana-Dakota Utilities were on site later in the day investigating.

Sautner says the baby suffered burns to her face, hands and an arm. She was taken to a Minneapolis-area hospital for treatment.
