Explosion Rocks East Anchorage Home | Anchorage News

A massive explosion rocked an empty East Anchorage home Sunday, blowing out the garage and tearing into the second story—thanks to no one being home, no injuries occurred. The fiery chaos, captured on a neighbor’s security camera, looked like a movie scene, but everyone was just grateful no one got hurt. Firefighters, already stretched thin after responding to four fires Saturday night through Sunday morning, rushed to the scene and were praised for their swift action. The cause remains under investigation, with officials holding off due to structural damage; fire investigators and the insurance company will collaborate to uncover what sparked the blast. Meanwhile, another house fire erupted Monday on East Fourth Avenue, reminding residents to stay vigilant—especially around gas meters—and to call 911 at the first sign of smoke or flames. ENSTAR Natural Gas says there’s no evidence of tampering with gas meters in these recent incidents, and they’re continuing their own probe. More updates to come.
