Two Rockville residents suffered serious burn injuries earlier this month when a large explosion destroyed their home around 3 a.m. The blast tossed the two into their backyard, according to a Montgomery County Fire official. The explosion caused minor to moderate damage to nearby homes and blew debris approximately 50 feet.
Emergency responders rushed the two injured adults to the burn unit at a local hospital. The male victim has non-life threatening injuries, and the female victim has life-threatening injuries, according to a local fire official. The two had only recently moved into the home in the 11200 block of Ashley Drive.
A resident two doors down from the blast said it made her house shake, and she saw a ball of fire when she ran outside to investigate. The fire department and local utility companies are still investigating the cause of the explosion.
