PHOTOS: An explosion and fire destroyed a home in Snohomish and claimed the life of one person, fire officials said. Snohomish Regional Fire units were dispatched after reports of a house fire in the 3800 block of 109th Ave SE, following a loud explosion Friday evening.

Battalion 43 arrived to find the home heavily involved in flames, with debris from the garage door scattered into the roadway. There were reports that someone remained inside the residence, officials said. Fire crews began firefighting operations upon arrival, but the structure quickly became too unstable for firefighters to enter safely.

Crews transitioned to an exterior attack and successfully extinguished the fire. During operations, firefighters reported a partial structural collapse. After the fire was brought under control, crews searched through the rubble and located the victim. The fire marshal’s office has taken over the investigation, according to fire officials.
