The alarm was for a reported loud noise in the basement with a male (husband) covered with blood at 250 Jacobs Road. A neighboring firefighter, who heard the loud bang, rushed next door and removed the male to the exterior of the structure. While in the basement performing the victim extrication, a secondary explosion occurred. 2C14, 24 & 34 responded along with Squad 2418.
The firefighter reported to the Chiefs that there were explosions taking place in the structure and 2C14 requested a Hamlin engine and Hilton engine to the scene. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the first explosion was caused by pressure in a well surge tank and the second explosion was from the failure of the bladder in the destroyed tank.
A precautionary line was stretched from Engine 2413 but not put into operation. The Hilton assignment was cancelled. The injured home owner was treated at the scene and transported to hospital.
