Gibbs, Reid (Explosion - NOV 1961)
Reid Gibbs, Chippewa Falls, was
badly burned on lower portions of his body when a stove exploded in his garage
last week.
The former Worden Township (Clark Co., Wis.) farmer suffered
second and third degree burns, and is in St. Joseph’s Hospital at Chippewa
Falls.
Gibbs was doing some woodworking in the garage, and the building
contained a large number of wood shavings. He had a fire extinguisher handy, and
was able to put out the blaze himself before seeking medical aid.
