GREATER MANCHESTER, England -- Oxygen cylinders have been removed from all ambulances in Greater Manchester after a paramedic was injured when a tank exploded.
He was treated for burns to his hands when the cylinder "spontaneously combusted" when responding to a 999 call in Mossley in Tameside.
It happened on 17 January and the paramedic was discharged from Wythenshawe Hospital on Tuesday.
