The Browning Fire Department responded to an explosion on the 900 block of Murphy Road late Friday night.

"Stunned, I didn't know what happened, there was a huge explosion, boom, and the doors to the house blew in off the hinges and the apartment is gone, it is ashes and if his son had of been here and hadn't of left he would have been in it and he would have been little bitty pieces and we'd of never found him," said homeowner Shatana Washer.

Multiple people in the area reported having heard and felt the explosion. One neighbor said it could be felt, "like a car was driving into [their] house."

Next door neighbors claim the explosion knocked picture frames off their walls.

"It was the biggest explosion in my life, I thought a bomb had gone off in my front yard. It was shaking my house and I can honestly say I've never heard a sound like that," said Donna Tunks, neighbor.

The Browning Fire Department is investigating the incident as a gas explosion, but have not officially ruled on a cause.

Debris from the affected residence was scattered as far as the other side of the street, while some pieces of debris made their way into neighbors' yards.

Officials say nobody was in the apartment that exploded at the time, but the home owners living in the house just feet away were home. No injuries were reported.
