Levittown house explodes when power restored


So very sad

(08/31/11) LEVITTOWN – A Levittown home burst into flames yesterday shortly after getting its power restored. The incident happened on Hyacinth Road yesterday where thick smoke was pouring out of the burning building. Neighbors say the house caught fire not long after the power came back on. It is not clear if a power surge could have caused the blaze. Neighbors say no one was home when the fire broke out. Experts recommend you unplug major appliances so they are not taken down by surges when the power comes back.



For those without power UNPLUG your appliances!!!!!


This is such a sad story, nothing like getting kicked when you're down.. thoughts and prayers going out to the family.. thank God no one was hurt.

That poor family. Someone on the News12 feed on facebook said she knew the family and they were collecting 18 mo. boy clothes and 6T girl clothes for them.

I was outside and saw them fighting this fire. It was so scary. The firefighters saved the dog, thank goodness.

Re: Levittown house explodes when power restored

check the News12 Facebook page. In the comments for this story is the woman who says she is collecting. I'm sure you could blindly send her a FB message.
