House explosion in New Hampshire leaves 1 dead and 1 injured

DERRY, N.H. (AP) — Authorities say a house explosion in New Hampshire amid a spring storm left one woman dead and a second person injured. Derry Fire Chief Shawn Haggart said his department received reports of an explosion and responded to find a house fully engulfed in flames. One person in the house was killed as a result of the fire. A female juvenile was taken to a hospital for her injuries. Haggart said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. But he says the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office concluded that a tree fell on the house near propane tanks that were outside the home.
