When going to a campground it can be rustic, particularly if you are in a tent or car camping. But some campgrounds are different. They offer all of the amenities of home and more including swimming pools and heated cabins. That type of fun vacation can be found at Port Susan Camping Club in Tulalip until this morning when a family was all of a sudden changed forever by a leaking propane tank.

A man in a house nearby said he and another neighbor smelled a propane leak around 1 am this morning. They walked around for a while in the dark, but couldn’t find the source. The leak was only found after it exploded sending three people to the hospital.

Two of the injured people, a woman and her son, made it out, but suffered serious burns. The woman was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition. Her son, was taken to an Everett hospital, but upon arrival it was determined that his burns were severe enough that he had to also be transported to Harborview.

When the incident happened people grabbed hoses and ran towards the explosion, which was powerful enough to blow out the windows on a van. One neighbor was injured trying to get away from the fire and was taken to Providence Medical Center in Everett.

Five fire departments responded to the call and successfully kept the fire from spreading to dense trees and homes just a few feet away.

Park managers said they have anywhere from 500 to 2,000 people living here during the year.

The woman and her son remain in the intensive care unit. We hope that they recover quickly and fully with little to no scarring.

Serious burn injuries can change people’s lives. They can not only be disfiguring, but can have a very long painful healing process in which the patient is prone to infection, addiction to painkillers, and some have reported severe post traumatic stress disorder accompanied by nightmares.

If you or someone you know has been severely burned in an accident they will most likely lose extended periods of time from work and will experience pain and suffering like they never have before in their lives. That’s why they need skilled legal help to assure that they get the compensation they deserve. Call Phillips Webster for a free consultation.
