(In an update to our earlier report) Officials with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office report a Nebraska man was injured during an explosion Tuesday morning at OSI in Oakland. Sheriff Jeff Danker says just before 11-a.m., the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to 21876 Highway 59 to assist Oakland Rescue with an industrial accident.

Upon arrival the Deputy and First Responders from Oakland found that 24-year old Dalton Anderson of rural Ashland NE., had been performing maintenance on a generator when some type of explosion occurred.

Anderson told authorities that he was splashed with “hot liquid” that had come from the generator burning his face and chest.  The man was transported to CHI Mercy in Council Bluffs for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
