LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) -- A house in Sellersburg was destroyed by an early morning explosion.
The Clark County Dispatch Center says firefighters were called to a home on North New Albany Street around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday on a report of a home explosion. The house is located about half a mile south of the Silver Creek Schools campus.
Neighbors say they woke to a loud boom and their houses shaking. When they looked outside, they say they saw a home in flames.
"It was a lot of smoke and a lot of embers, but the flames were as tall as the house," said neighbor Mike Walker. "I mean, it looked like something you only see in the movies, that I've personally seen of a house at least."
Only the frame is left standing on one home. The house to the right appears to be heavily damaged and the siding was melted off a nearby third home.
Firefighters said no one was hurt and neighbors were safely evacuated. In total, the fire caused damage to three homes. The state fire marshal is also investigating.
It could take up to two weeks to determine a cause, according to investigators.
