There was an explosion in a family home in Hortobágy; one person was injured, a spokesman for the Hajdú-Bihar County Disaster Management Directorate told MTI on Saturday night.

According to Nóra Papp-Kunkli, a propane-butane gas cylinder probably exploded in an eighty square meter residential house in Hortobágy, Kónya major. The building became uninhabitable.

Professional firefighters from Hajdúszoboszló and municipal firefighters from Balmazújváros marched on the case. Firefighters pulled a man out from under the ruins and handed him over to the ambulance. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, the spokesman said.
