Four girls in hospital after spray can blast

Four teenage girls remain in hospital for treatment to burns caused when spray from an aerosol can ignited, and caused an explosion on Sunday afternoon.

The force of the blast caused structural damage to the internal walls of the upstairs room that the girls were in at the time.

In the wake of the explosion, the chief fire office for Louth County Council, Eamon Woulfe, has reminded young people of the dangers that aerosols can pose.
