With much of Massachusetts in a drought, small fires 'can quickly grow to dangerous sizes,' the state fire marshal noted.
A man has died from injuries he received in an outdoor fire that was fed by a propane torch in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, Wednesday, authorities say.
Firefighters who arrived at the scene on Streans Street after noon found two people hurt and a shed engulfed in flames, according to local and state fire officials and Middlesex County prosecutors. An older man from Chelmsford, who wasn't identified, was flown to a hospital but died the next day. The officials said Friday the outdoor fire became uncontrollable while the man was using a propane torch, though they didn't say what the man was working on. It took under half an hour for the fire to be put out.
Chelmsford Fire Chief Gary Ryan offered his department's condolences to the man's family and friends.
