Not too explosive, but a serious situation none the less. A lot of heavy smoke showing and with FF inside the use of a hose line on the roof comes into question? Just prior to the explosion or what ever it was they were directing a hose line to the roof area. The explosion occurs at 6:20 in the video, you have to watch close to see the helmet fly off.

Crews were dispatched to a reported house fire at 402 Madison In New Chicago on 02-17-12, On arrival smoke was showing and a working fire was declared. Crews quickly stretched lines into the house to knock the fire down and a hole was cut in the roof of the living room/entrance. Shortly after the hole was cut there was a violent explosion that blew an officers helmet off his head and blew the leaves in the lawn. We are unsure what the explosion was. There were three members in the structure when this happened and all were ok. One other member suffered an asthma attack while fighting the fire and was treated on the scene. The Lake County Fire Investigators Team was requested to the scene to assist with cause and origin.
