Two more refinery blast patients released

Two more burn patients injured from the sugar refinery blast near Savannah in February have been released from a hospital in Augusta. A third is expected to be released later today from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center. With those patients being discharged--of an original 20--that will leave only five patients still being treated at the Augusta facility. Five patients have died at the hospital. The refinery blast of February 7th in Port Wentworth was fatal to 13 workers, and injured dozens others.
