Doorbell camera catches home explosion

Authorities in Missouri are working to determine the identity of a person who died in a massive house explosion caught on camera. A neighborhood outside Kansas City was rocked Saturday morning following “a powerful explosion” at a single-family residence that killed one person and one dog.

The incident in the suburb of Gladstone severely damaged an adjacent house, shattered nearby car windows and sent debris flying across the street, Gladstone Fire Chief Mike Desautels told Fox News Digital. Desautels said an “unrecognizable” body was found at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released. “A powerful explosion occurred earlier today at a single-family residence,” the city of Gladstone said Saturday in a press release.Gladstone Fire Department responded promptly to the scene, the city said. Upon arrival, firefighters found the home “completely destroyed,” and adjacent homes were also evacuated as a precaution, the city added. Emergency crews battled the remaining flames when they arrived at midday.The shockwave of the explosion was felt across multiple towns, according to Desautels, adding that hundreds of reports outside city limits were made following the incident. Footage from a neighbor’s Ring camera captured the moment debris from the horrific explosion slammed against their home and car. “We just went down to the scene and hugged a couple of family members down there,” nearby resident Glenn Hall told Fox News Digital. A voicemail sent out by the city alerted residents about plans to demolish the remaining property, according to a screenshot shared by Hall. “This is an emergency message,” the voicemail said. “As soon as the scene is released by the authorities, the city of Gladstone will immediately begin demolition of the property as well as clean up the neighborhood.”Fundraiser for teen who rushed to Burger King shift after graduation skyrockets to $130K — and keeps climbing 'Hate-fueled' madman launches 'targeted terror attack' with Molotov cocktails – setting at least one victim ablaze – at Israeli hostages' event in ColoradoBrian McKnight made no effort to reach out before estranged son Niko’s death: source‘The View’: Alyssa Farah Griffin Threatens To Picket Ben Shapiro’s Workplace After He Called Taylor Swift “Elderly” And “Middle-Aged” Registered Sex Offender Anthony Weiner Kicks Off His Political Comeback On ‘The View’ By Making A Dig At Kamala Harris: “She Blew Up Her Campaign” ‘And Just Like That’ Season 3 Opens With Miranda Sleeping With A Virgin Nun Named Mary — Played By Rosie O’Donnell!Kelly Clarkson's 'very painful' personal issues may mean she leaves hit TV show: 'She knows her limits' 'Hate-fueled' madman launches 'targeted terror attack' with Molotov cocktails – setting at least one victim ablaze – at Israeli hostages' event in Colorado
