It happened early Wednesday morning.

. . . Twenty-year-old Tommy Keen and 21-year-old Paul Grzybowski received first and second-degree burns to more than 40 percent of their upper bodies.

"They've got a couple of tubes down their throats for a few days, and they're going to need a couple of skin grafts," Tom Grzybowski told CBS Atlanta's Jocelyn Connell.

Grzybowski is Paul's father.

. . . Captain Jolyon Bundrige with the Atlanta Fire Department . . . . called the explosion an accident.

. . . Fifteen people were inside the frat house when the explosion occurred. They safely escaped.
