I caught it. Apparently it was a house that exploded. 2 patients were taken by helicopter to a Tulsa hospital. Must have been pretty bad, I heard Kiefer, and Bixby Fire Dept's on the radio as well.

Just a follow up, does anyone know why the house exploded? Rumor has it Meth lab, but that is purly speculation. Just wondering?

I saw it on TV and thats what I thought, but who knows I am a little jaded
theese days. It could of been propane bottles for lanterns so forth.

News on 1170 AM KFAQ is reporting it as a possible gas related.

Report mentioned 2 children and their father in local hospitals.

It seems to have been a build up of natural gas. I talked to one of the first firefighters that was on that scene and there was no indication of any foul play or criminal activity. I know whenever I hear of a house "exploding" that the words "meth lab" run through my mind as well. However, that doesn't seem to be the situation in this case. There was a story yesterday and another story today about that incident at www.kotv.com

Now they are saying they dont know what caused it. Dang hose draggers It sure leveled though.

Yes, I noticed that on KOTV this morning that the morning show crew reported that now investigators believe it "may not" have been a build up of natural gas. Well, at any rate, the hose draggers are out of the loop. That investigation was turned over to the State Fire Marshal's office and the ATF. If they are still the ATF, who knows what they are called today. I'm not sure why they are involved, all I was told is that they were requested.

Rumor has it that the homeowner may of not had gas service and had been using propane for fuel. Several propane tanks exploded and were found in the rubble. I was just getting off-duty when the call went out. Sandy does get a little excited during things like that.

Yeah hmmmm didnt I say something about propane???
I learned about propane at hazmat, Fire cause investigator and Bomb
schools. It is nasty stuff. The government was playing with years back and gotr some awesome results. Remember the Marine barricks explosion some years back. It was propane backed.
