Aerosols and deodorants are extremely flammable and when heated can explode instantly, which appears to have been the case here.
A DFB spokesperson explained: "Firefighters were called to an explosion in a house last night. It is believed that a deodorant can came in to contact with a candle over a period of time causing the can to heat and explode.
"The window of the bedroom was blown out as result. One patient treated for burns."
