By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on November 12, 2026
A late morning alert earlier this week from the Harrison-Taylor 911 Center for “burns” resulted in an individual needing to be flown for treatment.
According to multiple reports, the individual was a male. He suffered injuries in a propane explosion, according to first responders.
The injuries were serious enough that HealthNet Aeromedical Services was called in to take the patient for treatment.
Harrison-Taylor sent the alert at 11:36 a.m. The call was for Pine Bluff Road, which is an area serviced by the Shinnston Fire Department. HealthNet transported the patient after landing behind the fire department building in Shinnston.
No further information was available.
