An explosion destroyed a Bucks County home Tuesday morning. Fortunately no one was hurt. NBC10’s Deanna Durante has the latest on the investigation and speaks to neighbors who heard the blast.
A home was leveled after an apparent explosion rocked a Buckingham Township, Pennsylvania, neighborhood Tuesday morning.
The blast happened at 9:35 a.m. along the 4200 block of Biddeford Circle.
The two-story single family home was reduced to a pile of splintered wood and insulation in the wake of the explosion. Authorities said they had reports of the blast being felt and heard from two miles away.
No one was at home at the time of the explosion. There are no reports of injuries.
"It's gone. That house is gone, man. It's unbelievable," neighbor Chris Dennis said. He was in his driveway when the explosion happened.
Homes in the neighborhood have individual utilities and use freestanding propane tanks for gas heating and cooking.

Craig Wurst, another neighbor, told NBC10 that a fuel company just filled the tank at the home around 8 a.m.
Investigators said they are looking at whether the tank was the source of the blast. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent investigators to lend expertise to the probe, which they are not classifying as criminal in nature.
