A Missouri Home Exploded Friday Night and No One Knows Why

A Missouri fire department was responding to a fire Friday night only to learn that blaze now involved an explosion. Once they arrived, they learned a Missouri home had exploded and as of now, no one knows exactly why or who might have been in the building.

The Eureka, Missouri Fire Protection District shared these alarming pictures on their Facebook page Saturday morning about the structure they found leveled.

According to the spokesperson from the Eureka Fire Protection District, they feared that individuals might still be buried under the remains of the home, but as of this writing, they have found no one.

In home explosions like this, the most likely culprit is a gas leak in association with the fire, but there's no confirmation at this time.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated once new information is released after the Eureka, Missouri Fire Protection District completes its investigation.
