An early-morning explosion shattered windows and triggered a house fire in Hamden Thursday, NBC 30 in Connecticut reported. The gas company has been doing work on Woodin Street for a week or so, and firefighters say a natural gas leak may be to blame. Fire investigators believe the blast occurred around 2 a.m. when a man who lived at 551 Woodin St. answered nature's call. John Ross turned on a bathroom light switch and that small spark likely ignited natural gas, sending the explosion outward and rocking their house. The force sent debris flying and caused significant structural damage. There were some small fires in the electrical system which are all characteristic of a gas explosion, say fire officials. Remarkably, all five people who live in the house walked away even though their house blew up around them. The man turned on a bathroom light switch and that small spark likely ignited natural gas, sending the explosion outward and rocking their house.
