Dixon said there were no injuries, as the homeowners were away at the time of the explosion.

Neighbors told investigators they believed the people who lived in the home were out of town.

Crews are now waiting for specialized equipment to conduct a thorough search of the debris field and begin the cleaning up process.

The Chief adds there was minimal damage to a home next door, but didn't believe it was structural.
