A home explosion in Washington Township, New Jersey, resulted in the deaths of two individuals and widespread destruction in the neighborhood. Occurring around 2 a.m., the explosion was captured by nearby doorbell cameras and described as a loud blast that led to flames engulfing the house within minutes. Local residents reported feelings of terror upon witnessing the rapid spread of fire, with reports indicating damage to nearby homes. The investigation into the cause of the explosion is ongoing, as neighbors mourn the loss of a familiar face from their community.
I was terrified, absolutely terrified. Because I never heard an explosion like that in my life, and it just was, the house was, basically, burning to the ground very, very quickly.
The whole house was in flames already, that fast as soon as the explosion happened.
Two nearby houses were also damaged in the fire, including the home of Jill Rauf, who said half of the siding on her house melted off in the extreme heat.
While officials did not confirm the identities of the deceased, neighbors told local outlets that the man they believe who died in the home was a nice guy.
