An explosion that injured six people at the Kansas State Fair was caused by a canned food item that got too hot when stored near a food warmer, investigators said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n

The explosion happened Tuesday night at a concession trailer called the Fry Shack. Authorities said two people were hospitalized after the explosion and fire. Both were treated for cuts and were discharged later Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Four others reported injuries but did not seek medical treatment.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire was determined by investigators with the Kansas State Fire Marshal\u2019s Office and the Hutchinson Fire Department.<\/p>\n

The 10-day state fair draws about 350,000 people each year. It concludes Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
