San Francisco fire crews using heavy equipment and cadaver dogs found the body of an unaccounted for resident at the Sunset District home destroyed by an explosion and fire Thursday morning.
Baxter told KPIX that one person was found outside the home in serious condition after suffering burns and injuries. They were transported to a local hospital. He said windows in houses across the street had been shattered,"indicative of an explosion." A later update also confirmed that a firefighter suffered minor injuries during the incident but would be OK.
Samaris was shaken by the blast and he lives on the next block over. In the house right next door to the explosion, Karen Lei was just sitting down for a conference call. "And I could just see what looks like a crumbled house," said Cessario Greenblatt."It wasn't completely engulfed yet.""Yeah, luckily fire, SF Fire Department was here pretty quick," said neighbor Will Choy."Police here pretty quick."
"My living room windows are blown out," said Jack Noriega."My side door is jarred; we can't open that. Can't open the front door either."
