A man at 127 Pearl St., Batavia, was taken to UMMC by Mercy EMS this morning after he was reportedly burned while lighting a pilot light for a water heater.
When he tried to light the pilot, there was apparently a quick, small explosion, but no fire followed.
City fire responded at shortly after 9 a.m.
Because it was an accident and no fire, there is no publicly available report with the victim's name or age or medical condition.
