Here is another house explosion video posted on You Tube on the 27th - I have seen my share of these types of incidents both natural gas and propane. Sometime they catch fire and some time they don’t. This time the structure caught. Bushnell is south west of Peoria Illinois. You will have to watch the video on You Tube the embed video below has been disabled.
Here is the write up on You Tube: The home at 519 Washington St. was leveled by a gas explosion around 2:30 p.m. The blast was heard little over seven miles away and also caught one other house on fire, leaving a large crater in the roof. It was not known if those occupants were home when the fire started.
No injuries were reported, but an ambulance was called for a firefighter reportedly having chest pains.
The occupant of the house Bradl Thompson, was outside with his dogs at the time. His wife was believed to be at work at the time.
Houses on the gas line and sewer system were also evacuated as well as those at least one block away on either side according to Bushnell Police Chief Merv Hilliard. At about 6:30 p.m. police said residents were being allowed back into their homes.
Firefighters from Macomb, Emmet-Chalmers, Good Hope and Adair fire departments were called in to help the Bushnell-Prairie City Fire Department battle the two fires. You Tube
