She said he's in good spirits and isn't experiencing much pain except for when assisted to walk. She said the pain is due to skin grafting.
Pittsburg County Office of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Enloe says the explosion occurred on one well head, which led to fires on three wells. McCabe was transported by an air ambulance service following the explosion at Trinity Operating LLC.
The initial cause for the explosion is undetermined.
