At least one civilian and one firefighter were injured after a San Francisco home exploded and caught fire Thursday morning, blowing out nearby windows and rattling residents of a quiet neighborhood.
The cause of the explosion and fire are under investigation, said Capt. Jonathan Baxter of the San Francisco Fire Department in a statement. The explosion was reported around 9:20 a.m. and the fire was extinguished before noon, he said. There is no threat to the public, he said.
A person was found outside the house with serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. It's unclear if that person was a visitor or resident. Authorities are also trying to find another occupant of the home who is unaccounted for, said Baxter.
The firefighter was also taken to a hospital but for minor injuries.
