A man has died in an explosion in Pulaski County.
First responders were dispatched to the 200 block of Hidden Crest Drive in Somerset Sunday morning at approximately 10:00 on the report of an explosion.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found that an unattached garage, located behind a residence, had been destroyed by the explosion. Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones told WKYT.com that the explosion is “believed to be connected with fireworks and other material in the garage.” The explosion, Jones said, created a huge debris field.
Neighbors told police, according to the Herald-Leader, that the victim, who has not been identified, made his own fireworks.
No other injuries were reported.
The ATF is leading the ongoing investigation.
