Four people were killed and two injured in a Michigan home explosion; the incident is being looked into by authorities.

Northfield Township fire and police teams were called to a massive explosion just east of Whitmore Lake, and they arrived shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, according to local publication MLive.

A house had burst, setting off many neighbouring fires, which first responders discovered, according to Huron Valley Ambulance spokesperson Marc Breckenridge.

Breckenridge reported that the bodies of the four victims killed in the blast had been found. Two other individuals present at the incident sustained serious injuries and were taken to a hospital in critical condition.

First responders, according to Breckenridge, are “being very meticulous about making sure there are no additional people to rescue inside the residence.”

Members of the workshop shared a number of objectives, such as proactive company recruitment, a programme for housing construction, enhanced safety in the downtown area, and a downtown that is more pedestrian- and wheelchair-friendly. However, following the planning session, only one immediate action was done, and that was the vote on December 21 to provide $250,000 to pay a DDA director’s salary starting in FY2025.
