Dramatic footage shows a massive gas explosion as it tore through a house when firefighters were inside in Hull, East Yorkshire. See Ross Parry story RPYBLAST; Flames burst out of the property and into the garden as the bay windows are blown out, showering firefighters outside with debris. The footage shows two firefighters, Andy Winfield and Andy Grant, who were inside, being helped out by their colleagues and receiving medical attention on the pavement from fellow crew members and paramedics. Two other firefighters were taken to Hull Royal Infirmary for precautionary check-ups before being released later that day. Firefighters then re-enter the wrecked groundfloor flat in Hull, East Yorks., where Lewis Nicklin, 31, who was living in the flat, was found unconscious and later died.
