YELM — A 15-year-old boy was seriously injured in an explosion that occurred as he and several other teenagers were apparently repackaging fireworks to make a larger device early Saturday.

The most seriously injured victim was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center after the blast, which blew out two windows in a house in the 9400 block of Bridge Road just outside Yelm,
The explosion was reported at 4:23 a.m. Detectives are investigating.
