This is the best summary I could come up with:
A neighbourhood in Winnipeg's east side has been rocked by a home explosion that has destroyed at least one house and significantly damaged other structures.
A house on Camrose Bay, off of Coldstream Avenue, exploded around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday in Transcona, the City of Winnipeg posted.
Members of the fire department and Winnipeg police are still working to locate the people who live in the home that was destroyed, he said.
All that's left of the house that exploded is a concrete foundation that firefighters poured water into as smoke rose out of the hole.
Few houses had to be evacuated, Deputy Chief Wilkinson said — most people have been able to shelter in place as crews work to extinguish the fires.
The city's incident response listed 19 emergency units at the scene, including fire and rescue.
