A house in Harford County, Maryland, exploded Sunday morning, killing one person and injuring two others. The fire department initially responded to a gas leak outside the home before being told about the explosion. The house was completely destroyed, with a neighboring house also sustaining significant damage. One injured person declined transportation to the hospital, while the other was a utility worker from BGE investigating an electrical issue. The deceased victim was contracted by BGE. The cause of the explosion is unknown at this time, but there was an odor of gas in the area before the incident. Multiple agencies are assisting with the investigation, and the area is still an active search and rescue scene. Lisa Czawlytko and her daughter felt the explosion from a nearby condo building and thought it was an earthquake or a bomb. Megan Weeks, whose home sustained damage, was shocked by the destruction and is nervous about the potential for a similar incident at her own home. The public is advised to stay away from the debris area and not fly drones in the airspace. The Harford County community is reeling from the tragic event.
