VIDEO: Two people were seriously injured in a large explosion at their mobile home in northern Marinette County Sunday morning. According to Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve, the explosion was reported at 8:50 a.m. Sunday at a home on Payette Rd. at Bomber Rd. in the Town of Niagara. It was heard by many people several miles away. A man and a woman in their 50s from Milwaukee were inside their seasonal residence at the time. The couple’s names have not been released. They are hospitalized in a Wisconsin hospital with serious injuries including severe burns, Sauve says.
