A controlled
burn in Cape Elizabeth got out of hand on the morning of Aug. 22 when one man
poured gasoline on the fire.
Department of
Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said Jay Moores, 42, of Saco, was helping
a friend burn a brush pile at that person’s home when he “emptied the contents of an
old automobile's gas tank onto the fire.”
The
resulting explosion took place on Harvest Lane, a private road off Valley Road.
Moores
was transported to Maine Medical Center where he was being treated for first-
and second-degree burns, said McCausland.
