air ambulance to a Utah hospital with second-degree burns on her face

Fire Chief Keith Martin said the couple was eating dinner when the
explosion occurred. Amy Wood was on the back patio _ which is directly
over the gun room _ and the blast apparently caused the slab to collapse
into the room below.
