The explosion completely destroyed the house and left all three residents critically injured. However, all three individuals were alive when they were evacuated from the scene. Mountain Top News spoke to Emergency Management Director Ne Jackson for more information. Approximately 9.28 this morning, there was a page out of an explosion. It was paged out at 5.94 Lick Fork Road. That was actually the house just above this. But I think the house number is actually 5.88 on the mailbox here. That was, it listed at least one person. Later found out that there were three individuals. They're all related. Two females and a male. One male, one female was airlifted. The other female was taken to Pipeville Medical Center by ground. And I don't know if they'll list, airlift her at a later time or not, or if they'll continue to treat her there. Emergency Management on scene, Dorton Fire Department, Shelby Creek Rescue Squad, Shelby Valley Fire Department, AEP, a couple of gas companies, Mike County Sheriff's Department, Kentucky State Police, Kentucky Fire Marshal's Office is on their way. It's really tough. It's tough for these people to rebound after situations like this right across from this home. There was a drain tile washed out to get to the other home. Looks like fortunately, there wasn't any water in this home. But this general community has just been inundated with, from the flooding to now this explosion and these folks were, I think they were all in their 80s. So that makes it even tougher when they're older folks as well. Jackson says the residents are fortunate to be alive despite the tragedy. While waiting for first responders, the residents were dragged from the burning wreckage by their neighbors, most of whom were family members. Thank God for folks like that that react quickly. They just, they go in and help people in this situation. When you look at what's left of the home and know that they were alive when they left here, that's a miracle in itself. Because I wouldn't have given you a nickel for it. If somebody just sent me a picture and said this is what it looks like for somebody to survive this, that's very miraculous.
