EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - Officials say an employee in a bikini coffee stand was injured when the stand exploded in Everett.

KOMO-TV reports (https://goo.gl/B5363T ) a call came in around 5 p.m. Thursday about an explosion at Sinners and Saints Coffee.

Assistant Everett Fire Marshal Eric Hicks said a young barista was inside the stand at the time and that she was burned while escaping the flames.



The woman reportedly was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment in Seattle. Her condition wasn’t immediately known.

Hicks said investigators don’t know what caused the blaze but are looking into the possibility that propane tanks used to heat the stand exploded.
