IRVING, Feb. 18 -
An Irving home exploded and burst into flames early Monday, killing a man inside.
Neighbors said they heard what sounded like two claps of thunder about 5 a.m. Monday.
Firefighters said the first blast apparently happened in the garage, and the house was engulfed in flames by the time they arrived. A neighboring house had minor damage.
Firefighters found the man's body around daybreak. He was unidentified pending notification of relatives.
Neighbors said the man lived alone and was an ammunition reloader who kept large amounts of gun powder in the house.
