Man loses life while helping a boy in yard fire

A 21-year-old man went into cardiac arrest and died Sunday night after rushing to help a 12-year-old boy in a backyard explosion in Moorhead, reports the Star Tribune.  The boy, Devan Vanbrunt, was pouring gasoline on charcoal to light a fire when the gas vapors ignited, according to the Moorhead fire marshal.  21-year-old Dane Tvedt and his father heard the explosion from his home and ran to help when Tvedt collapsed.

Vanbrunt was flown to Regions Hospital, and is reported to be in critical condition as on Monday night.
