Man and Dog Narrowly Escape Massive Bungalow Explosion

Man and Dog Narrowly Escape Massive Bungalow Explosion

A man and his dog were very lucky to survive after a huge explosion destroyed their house in a village in England called Newton Longville.

The house was a one-story bungalow, and its roof and walls collapsed very quickly in the blast.

The whole thing was caught on a neighbour's doorbell camera.

Firefighters, police and ambulance workers rushed to the scene after neighbours called for help.

The man was seriously hurt, but he managed to get out of the rubble by himself.

He was treated by ambulance crews and then taken to a hospital.

His dog was also pulled out safely and did not have bad injuries.

People who live nearby said they smelled gas in the area before the explosion.

The police are still investigating, but it may have been caused by a gas leak.

Kind neighbours are helping by giving clothes and places to stay to those affected.
