The camera is set up across the street from a house, which a construction crew appears to be working on… and the explosion suddenly occurs… with debris flying into the air and a huge fireball mushrooming.
According to the New York Times …the explosion appeared to lead to the complete and utter destruction of one home…as well as a massive fire that swept through the neighborhood.
Ryan Nishimoto – the deputy chief of operations for the Alameda County Fire Department – told NYT that 75 responders responded to the scene to extinguish the fire. It is unclear what exactly caused the fire.
Six people have been hospitalized due to the explosion, but two are still missing. Emergency services searched for the missing with the help of a dog.
