LPG blast destroys dwelling
05/06/2005
- A man and woman escaped injury as their house was demolished in a gas
explosion that blew it off the ground and sent bricks flying into the
air yesterday. Firefighters were called to the suburban Melbourne house
yesterday afternoon after LPG from a car leaked under the house and
caught fire. Country Fire Authority spokeswoman Andrea Brown said the
explosion sent the house 15 centimetres into the air and blew bricks
from the front wall of the home. Ms Brown said the couple inside the
house in Albert Street, Hallam, was treated at the scene for shock. "They're
two very lucky people, everyone's quite amazed given the force of the
explosion and the fact that there was also fire involved," she said.
One of the occupants, a man in his 30s, had been working on a
gas-fuelled car in his garage and had ruptured a gas line, Ms Brown
said. Unaware the gas was leaking, the man continued working then went
inside. The gas exploded shortly after 1pm and the $400,000 house was
described by Ms Brown as "a total loss."
