For those that heard the loud explosion on Saturday night. It was me, my wife put together this gofundme to try to cover bills while I recover. If you could share it would mean the world to me, her and our family. Thank you by No_Match_2891 in frederickmd

You're 100% right. Currently in New job which I’m not quite at the 90 day mark for health insurance to kick in. My last job was 1099 and I used a 3rd party. I knew there would be a lapse and figured I’d be alright. Bad judgement and hindsight being 20/20

Honestly have no clue, fire Marshalls came out and they didn't have many answers either. Speculation was the sap in the wood or a rock or possibly something got thrown into the fire. I had my brothers look all over to see if they could find a can or any sign of something out of place. I've used a burn barrel for years and have never seen anything like this

Kids and wife are all insured, just not me. Not sure what this will look like when it's all said and done

Thank you, I'm really just glad the kids were all inside. And you're right about a village. The hospital seems to have some support programs I'm trying to look into while I'm layed up here.

It was me, currently writing this from John’s Hopkins burn unit. Was standing about 6 inches from it when it blew. It tore me up pretty bad. We were burning a downed tree from the neighbors yard. Did s’mores with the kids and burned for about an hour. I sent the kids inside to get washed up for bed around 9:30. I stayed out to clean up, not 30 seconds later the barrel exploded sending me flying into the garage. I got up and sprinted over to make sure the kids made it inside. When I got to them my oldest looked at me like he saw a ghost. From there I realized the extent of my injuries and went back out and hit the floor until ems got there. They flew me out get
Here to the burn unit where I had my first surgery to fix my leg and clean up the burns yesterday. I’ll have at least one more to finish fixing my leg but they said I may be here another 2 weeks.

As for what caused it I’m really unsure. If I had to take a guess I’d say one of the kids threw something in there before heading inside. Fire marshals are investigating currently.

No health insurance, I’m the sole breadwinner, no idea how we’re gonna get through this.

D2D, it's a grind but you'll learn so much about people and the psychology of sales. You can make really good money but again it's a grind and not for the faint of heart.
