A man from Truro has been charged with arson endangering life after a house in Cornwall was destroyed in a huge explosion.
The explosion happened at a house in Bodmin, at 9pm on 18th October.
24 firefighters battled the blaze for several hours at the detached house in Margaret Crescent.
Lee Griffin from the fire service said: “The front of the house was actually lying in the front garden. With the force of the explosion and the immediate residences in the area it is amazing no one was injured.”
Nearby homes were left without an electricity supply
It has been reported that the house was empty at the time of the blast, and that no one was injured.
An investigation is now being carried out to determine the cause of the explosion.
