An elderly Wexford man and his son had a miraculous escape when a gas explosion and fire ripped through every room in their house.
John Kearns and his son Andrew, 42, were at their home, in the Clone area of Ferns, when the explosion took place at around 7.30am on Tuesday, December 13.
Andrew had been attempting to light a stove when the explosion happened. The force of the blast sent a window flying into a neighbour’s garden and it sparked a fire that spread throughout the entire house, destroying everything.
