IN Meth Lab Explosion Injures Firefighter, Badly Burns Man

From the Evansville Courier & Post:
A woman was arrested, her residence deemed a total loss, a firefighter was injured and another man may not survive severe burns following a meth lab explosion late Wednesday, Evansville police said.

Daniel Phillips was flown to a nearby burn center after 51 percent of his body sustained chemical burns. Hospital officials haven't determined if he will survive because his burns are so severe, according to an Evansville Police Department affidavit.

Evansville firefighter Mark Dietsch was hospitalized with a knee injury after falling through a roof, according to the affidavit.
