A contractor punctured a gas line while working at the home in the Wedgewood Hills neighborhood in the 3200 block of Crest Road about 9 a.m. Tuesday and summoned firefighters who arrived within about 10 minutes and found high gas levels inside the home. That’s when the residents were told to leave. Firefighters cleared out shortly thereafter. And it was just in time.
The house blew up about 9:30 a.m., pulverizing the home and sending personal items into trees and yards a block away.
