AUSTIN (KXAN) — A "substantial" propane gas leak led to a powerful explosion earlier this week that injured six people, destroyed a recently finished northwest Austin home and damaged others nearby, according to the Travis County Fire Marshal's Office.
The explosion at 11:23 a.m. Sunday in the 10400 block of Double Spur Loop in Austin was heard as far as Cedar Park, Leander, Pflugerville and Georgetown. The Austin Fire Department said that day that 24 homes in the area also reported damage. A nearby elementary school did as well.
The homeowner and two firefighters were among those who were hurt. The general contractor who was working on the home told KXAN it received its final inspection and certificate of occupancy on March 28.
The fire marshal's office emphasized, "There are no suspicious or criminal circumstances surrounding this incident."
"While this investigation is entering its final stages, it is important to remember that there is still a long road of recovery ahead for those who were affected by this tragic event. There are still two people in critical condition at area hospitals. When they are able, we will interview them, take their statements, and include them in the final report," said the fire marshal's office in a statement, adding it is still working on that final report.
