ST. LOUIS (AP) - Fire officials in St. Louis are investigating after a vacant home exploded, sending glass, wood and other rubble flying into the air.
The explosion in the city’s Baden neighborhood happened about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Fire Capt. Garon Mosby says it’s a miracle that no one was hurt.
The brick bungalow-style home was completely destroyed, and parts of the home were tossed onto the roofs and yards of neighboring homes.
