A house explosion occurred in western Pennsylvania recently, destroying several square houses nearby. At least 5 people were killed and 3 were injured. Authorities dispatched at least 18 fire departments to rescue. Neighbors said the neighborhood looked like a bombed war zone.

According to “Fox News” reports, a house explosion occurred in the Plum area on the morning of the 12th, and two other houses were set on fire. Many houses were also affected and the windows were blown out. When police arrived, they found people trapped under the rubble. 4 adults and 1 teenager are known to have died, for a total of 5 deaths.

Resident George Emanuele, who lives near the site of the explosion, said he and another neighbor found a man lying in their backyard and dragged him out of the fire before the fire got out of control. Resident Rafal Coranko said the explosion shattered the windows of his house, and it still looked like a war zone outside, as if it had been bombed, which was unfortunate.

The site was razed to the ground.

From the video circulated on Twitter, it can be seen that a house suddenly exploded, while other photos showed that the community was razed to the ground, and the scene was charred, which made people shocked. According to the “Associated Press”, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald (Rich Fitzgerald) said that this is undoubtedly a sad day for Plum and everyone in this area.

Fire and Emergency Services Deputy Commissioner Steve Imbarlina said of the three injured people who were taken to hospital, two have been released and one is in a critical condition. County spokeswoman Amie Downs said crews from at least 18 fire departments dispatched water trucks to extinguish the blaze.

It is understood that investigators have not disclosed the cause or details of the explosion. Inballina warned that the investigation process will be very long, because a large number of tests will be required, and it will take months at the earliest and years at the slowest.
