Gibbs, Reid (Explosion - NOV 1961)

Reid Gibbs, Chippewa Falls, was badly burned on lower portions of his body when a stove exploded in his garage last week.

The former Worden Township (Clark Co., Wis.) farmer suffered second and third degree burns, and is in St. Joseph’s Hospital at Chippewa Falls.

Gibbs was doing some woodworking in the garage, and the building contained a large number of wood shavings. He had a fire extinguisher handy, and was able to put out the blaze himself before seeking medical aid.
