Florissant home explosion: Man suffers life-threatening injuries
SUMMARY: A house exploded Wednesday evening near Graham Road and Trinity Lane in Florissant, seriously injuring a man in his 40s. A neighbor heard the blast and quickly helped the victim by removing debris and applying tourniquets to both severed legs. The injured man, who is a paramedic, was rushed to a nearby hospital and is now fighting for his life. The neighbor acted instinctively, saying his training likely saved the man. Authorities have blocked off streets around the scene, which may remain closed overnight as investigators work to determine the cause of the explosion.

The explosion happened around 4:25 p.m. near Graham Road and Trinity Lane, according to the Florissant Police Department. Local firefighters and police are at the scene.

Missouri counties denied state aid for tornado damage
SUMMARY: Tornado victims in St. Clair, Henry, and Benton counties, Missouri, will not receive state assistance after the May 19 tornadoes. State aid was denied partly because many affected homes were second homes, disqualifying them from funding. Local emergency management agencies are seeking alternative resources and volunteers to help with cleanup efforts. The Iconium Fire Protection District is asking for volunteers with dump trucks, trailers, and wood chipper operators to clear debris in devastated neighborhoods. Fire Chief David Price emphasized the lack of state and FEMA funding and the community’s reliance on neighbors and volunteers to recover.
