Jodean Sweetland, owner of JD's Kitchen, woke to a big surprise when her food truck exploded recently, which also woke up many residents in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, according to a report by Wear TV.

Fire Chief Theraon Shipman said the explosion was likely caused by a propane leaking into the food truck from a broken tank. Once enough gas was inside, a spark could have ignited it. No one was injured in the incident.

Sweetland first began the truck in July 2026. She is seeking help to restart her business. She has a GoFundMe set up.
