Just learned from friends in Lynnhaven that a house exploded only
4 doors from them. This just happened, apparently a person was critically
hurt. House is reported to be a total loss.
Anyone have more information on this?

Happened yesterday around 3pm. One person critically injured. No more information available as of now. No cause given.

Thanks for great info.

I heard the emergency vehicles heading out as I was leaving Publix right about that time. Or, at least, heard the vehicles heading in that direction if they were coming from another station.

We are in Lynnhaven.

Drove past this home on golf cart today. I did think I smelled some of the results from the fire unless it was the various fire places even though house fires do burn many other things than just wood.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of these nearby fellow Lynnhaven villagers.

My home looks to be the exact same design. Looks like the fire was directly above the kitchen.

Considering that about 50% of fires are started in the kitchen, it seems pretty likely that's what it was.

and if it exploded, then gas stove is the likely cause. . .

most house explosions are gas related.

which is why I cook with electricity. .

But do you heat your house with electricity too?

I have not seen too many gas furnaces installed in The Villages. Our houses are heated with heat pumps and some have an electric heat booster. That said, I wish we had gas in my neighborhood because food is better cooked on a gas stove.
