Explosion, Fire Destroys I. Falls Home

Fire officials continue to investigate an explosion and fire that destroyed a home in International Falls earlier this week.

Officials have blamed Tuesday's explosion to the home on County Road 127 on a gas leak, but the cause of the leak is not known.

The state's Fire Marshall and Koochiching County Sheriff's Department are investigating.

No one was in the home at the time of the incident and there were no injuries.

It took city firefighters more than six hours to contain the fire.
