Deadly explosions blasted a Winder, Georgia home early Saturday morning after multiple propane tanks blew up killing three people, Barrow County authorities said.
A massive fire then caught the Hidden Acres Road home trapping people inside and causing the structure to collapse.
“As firefighters arrived quickly, multiple explosions were going off inside the home, Chief Alan Shuman said.
Shuman added that the situation was too risky for firefighters so they tried to battle the flames from a defensive position.
When the blaze was ultimately put under control, personnel found three people dead inside the structure.
Two other residents were rushed to area hospitals for treatment. Their current condition was not revealed.
