A firefighter left the home seconds before it exploded, blowing him several feet from the door, police said.

Home explosion in Dauphin CountyResidents of a Susquehanna Township home were evacuated minutes before their home was flattened in a massive explosion Tuesday morning, officials said.

Two people were injured in the blast: a neighbor and a contract worker. Their injuries were described as non-life threatening. Neighbors were ordered to evacuate following the explosion while their homes were inspected for structural integrity. Contractors are supposed to check with gas companies before digging to avoid hitting gas lines. It’s unclear whether the company called and if they did, what information they were given about the location of gas lines. That all will be part of the investigation.

At least 20 neighbors living along Crest Road were evacuated to Our Savior Lutheran Church at 420 N. Progress Ave. The American Red Cross sent a disaster action team to support the displaced residents.
