(THE LOCAL) A 22-year-old woman from Gmunden in Upper Austria narrowly escaped with her life after a fragmentation grenade exploded inside her wood burner on Sunday.
The woman lit a fire around 1pm on Sunday afternoon, and fed it with firewood she had bought from a local hardware store — the same place where she had bought the wood burner two months previously.
Unbeknownst to her, the wood contained a World War II vintage fragmentation grenade.
