Man Injured When Blast Tears Through Boerne Home

One man has been injured when an explosion completely shattered the house where he lived in the Texas Hill Country town of Boerne.

City spokeswoman Pam Bransford says the blast shortly before noon Tuesday demolished the house and ignited a raging fire that also damaged neighboring houses.

Bransford said the injured man was airlifted 30 miles to San Antonio Military Medical Center. She said his condition was not known, but a dog was being treated for minor injuries at a Boerne veterinary clinic.

No other injuries were reported.
