TUESDAY'S STORY:

The Augusta fire chief says a call came in a little before 8 p.m. Tuesday night of an explosion.

Chief Ken Zich says when crews got to the scene at 206 East Perkins Street, flames were shooting out of all sides of a storage shed.

Zich says no one was inside, but Chief Zich says the owner was about 15 feet from the shed when it exploded. He says the man had knee surgery recently and wasn't able to get to his crutches to get further from the flames. An ambulance took that man to an Eau Claire hospital.

Chief Zich wasn't sure how bad he was hurt. A family member told us his injuries were not life-threatening.

Fire investigators will talk to him to try and figure out what caused the explosion.
