Row of houses may be demolished after explosion

by Kevin

A cordon remains in place around five houses on the street, and the couple who lived inside the home that exploded are reported to still be in hospital.

Rich Cainey lives next door to the couple and helped to rescue them from the rubble.

"Out of the three houses [affected by the explosion], no one's got any major life-threatening injuries," he said.

"Everyone [physically has] come off really well out of it and all the pets have now been found."

Nic Harvey, who lives nearby, added: "I don't know how anybody survived it.

"It's just a miracle. I know it's awful that they lost their possessions, it's absolutely devastating, but I'm just glad everybody's okay."
