It is believed the victim was an elderly man who lived at the property.<\/p>\n<p>A Fire and Rescue Service said it was &#8220;saddened that someone has lost their life&#8221;. The Police said several properties remained without power and road closures were still in place.<br \/>\nA neighbour said he was getting off a tram nearby when he heard the blast. The windows of the house were blown out, he said, followed by a &#8220;huge amount of smoke&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old said he &#8220;instinctively&#8221; ran over to the property alongside another man, and both attempted to kick down the front door in case anyone was inside. When they were unable to gain access they ran to a nearby fire station to raise the alarm, he said. As they approached, an engine was on its way to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Another passer-by had just arrived home from work when he heard the loud bang and thought there had been a car crash. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t see anything until the smoke started coming over,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\">BBC News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The huge blast was reported, where plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the property, and nearby homes were&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":10770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
