A man suffered serious burns after his campervan exploded in Taupo last night.
Around 10.40pm firefighters were called to the explosion at the Equestrian Centre on Rapids Rd, Fire Service northern shift manager Paul Raddem said.
"There was significant damage to the campervan, in fact it has blown the side of the campervan out. A gentleman has sustained burns at the sight."
Two fire crews responded and administered first aid until the ambulance arrived.
Raddem said a fire investigator is on the way but the source of the explosion could possibly be the gas cylinder.
