HFD said that the owner of the house on fire was able to escape before the explosion, and there were no reports of injuries to other people.

Mike Mire, vice president of HFD, said: “This is a very lucky situation, no one was injured.”

; “When an explosion occurs, the pressure wave usually spreads and is only blocked by adjacent houses. Surprisingly, the damage is limited to A house.”

CenterPoint personnel can also come out to control the leak. They said the leak occurred in the two-inch pipe, so they must gradually work hard to close it.

Meyer said: “If you smell gas, go out quickly.” “Do not turn on any light switches. Do not flick any flashlights.”
