Watch: Massive California Gas Blast Levels Homes, Sends Six to Hospital

A quiet East Bay neighborhood woke to chaos Thursday morning when a home erupted in an 💥Explosion, scattering debris across lawns and shaking houses for blocks.

According to Fox News, the 💥Blast, captured on a nearby doorbell camera, showed a Hayward-area home disintegrating in a flash before flames tore through the property.

Within seconds, the footage rolled into the sound of alarms and sirens racing toward the scene.

“It was scary,” said Christian Maldanado, whose camera caught the moment everything went up. “It was like a scene from Hollywood. It was unreal.”

Firefighters arrived to a street transformed into a disaster zone. The Alameda County Fire Department said 75 firefighters fought the three-alarm blaze as it spread through the wreckage. Three buildings were destroyed outright, and several neighboring homes sustained heavy damage.

Six people were rushed to area hospitals. PG&E later confirmed that three of the injured were company workers who had been in the neighborhood responding to a damaged gas line. The other three — residents of the home that exploded — suffered severe third-degree burns, according to a family member.

The chain of events began hours before the Blast
