Man Set on Fire
By: Fox S.A. Staff

A man trying to get rid of gun powder is recovering from serious burns.

Officials say he accidentally set himself on fire in front of his home on Gable Oaks near Military this afternoon.

He poured out two jars of gun powder on the ground in front of the house.

The first batch was lit on fire without a problem, but officials say when he lit the second batch it caused an explosion that set him on fire.

He was rushed to San Antonio Military Medical Center.

There's no word on his condition.
