After the explosion, part of the house crashed near Prague, and a helicopter arrived to help

According to rescue spokeswoman Petra Effenberger, three people were injured, one severely, the other moderately. Four crews treated the wounded. According to firefighters, the propane-butane bottle apparently exploded.

“28 people were evacuated, one third of the house collapsed, including the roof. We rescued one person. A dog handler was called to the scene, but we have no information that anyone should be in the rubble. It is more of a preventive measure, “Fire Department spokeswoman Vladimíra Kereková told Novinka.

According to her, a structural engineer is also heading to the site to evaluate whether the house is dangerous. Firefighters are also considering calling a special USAR rescue team. But they haven’t asked for it yet.
