PHOTOS: Canton Fire reports they no longer believe a man is missing after a search through a debris field on Thursday, July 30, following a home explosion.

Witnesses told FOX 8 News that the sound of an explosion at 1617 Bonnot Place NE, woke them up shortly before 4 a.m. on Thursday. Canton Division Chief Steve Henderson tells FOX 8 the explosion could be felt 2 miles away.

Canton Fire released video of the moment it happened. Henderson said the home was already destroyed when firefighters arrived. The blast was so powerful, it blew one man into the street.

Canton Fire says he was taken to the hospital with burns to 80% of his body. “It was a big boom like a bomb or missile was going off. It actually shattered some of my neighbor’s windows even and shook my whole house,” said Victor Howell, who shared video of the scene.

SkyFOX video over the neighborhood showed a massive debris field around the home. The man who survived the explosion told fire that there was another person in the home, prompting a search.

VIDEO: A team of active and retired firefighters is working to bring an old fire truck back home in hopes of donating the truck to the city of Somerville.

The 72-year-old truck spent four decades serving in Somerville before being sent to New York.

The man who tracked down the truck said he found it through a Facebook post in Minnesota and knew he needed to jump on the opportunity to restore it.

“I just kinda always liked the design of this particular truck and sure enough this popped up in a field with snow on it in Minnesota and it still said Somerville on it,” said Jay Keane, the retired district fire chief of Somerville. “It served Somerville for 40 years, it was at some of the biggest fires Somerville had.”

Keane said the truck is getting work done in Connecticut before it makes its way back to the Somerville area.

A GoFundMe was set up for anyone looking to donate to help cover the expenses. He said they are hoping to offer it to the city this fall to be used in parades and other community events.

Monday’s storms destroyed Fire Station 41 in Fox Crossing, leaving crumpled sheets of metal on the ground where the station’s roof once stood and burying several fire engines under rubble.

The Fox Crossing Community Center also sustained what village officials described as “significant damage” that will take time to fully assess.

Fox Crossing police issued a curfew for areas east of Little Lake Butte des Morts following the village administrator’s declaration of a local state of disaster due to the storms.

The curfew runs from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. and remains in effect until further notice. It applies to pedestrians, bicycles and all vehicles on public streets, in buildings, in parks and in other public places.

The only exception is for people traveling for essential work as storm recovery crews continue operations.
