“It doesn't blow up or shoot bullets at you. It just explodes. So shrapnel injuries we were mainly worried about,” Pletsch said. “Once our guys were able to get in there and knock the fire down, it was pretty basic after that.”
The man who lives in the home got out safely with his pets, which include a large snake.
The house sustained a lot of water and smoke damage.
