Explosion Investigation Continues
An investigation is continuing into the cause of an explosion that destroyed a Bradford Township home Monday morning.
Thomas Federspiel was outside the home at 10 Helen Lane when the explosion happened at 7:20 a.m. Monday.
The explosion caused part of the home to collapse and ignited a fire inside, causing an estimated $250,000 in damage, according to a fax sent to WESB and The HERO by state police fire marshal Greg Agosti.
Federspiel was able to rescue his two dogs from the home before Bradford Township firefighters arrived. He was treated at the scene for a minor injury.
National Fuel Gas assisted Agosti and the fire department with the investigation. The natural-gas distribution system, along with local gas distribution facilities were examined and tested and found to be safe.
The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission, the state Department of Environmental Protection and the McKean County Emergency Management Agency also assisted.
