An explosion at a gas station that injured a construction worker prompted a swift response by rescue crews.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue arrived at the gas station located on the corner of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway, just before noon, Tuesday.
According to fire rescue, construction workers were trying to access an underground fuel tank and cut the concrete above it to get to it, which caused vapors in the tank to ignite.
One of the workers was caught in the explosion and was severely burned.
He was transported to Aventura Medical Center with first and second-degree burns to about half his body.
