Transcona Explosion: Occupants Miraculously Alive After House Blast In a harrowing turn of events, the Winnipeg Police Service has confirmed that the occupants of a home that exploded in the Transcona neighborhood are alive. The explosion, which occurred early Sunday morning, sent shockwaves through the community and raised concerns about the well-being of those inside. According to police, the explosion completely destroyed the house and caused significant damage to neighboring properties. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and quickly cordoned off the area. “We were initially very concerned about the occupants of the home,” said Constable Rob Carver. “However, after searching the debris, we thankfully found them alive.” The occupants, a man and woman, were immediately transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They are currently being treated for smoke inhalation and minor cuts and bruises. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the explosion, but they believe it may have been related to a gas leak. The house has been deemed unsafe, and the area remains closed off until further notice. Neighbors have expressed their shock and sadness over the incident. “It’s just horrible,” said one resident. “I can’t believe that the people inside survived. It’s a miracle.” Mayor Brian Bowman also extended his well wishes to the occupants and thanked emergency responders for their efforts. “This is a reminder of the importance of gas safety and the need for regular inspections,” he said. “Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.” The Winnipeg Police Service and other agencies are continuing to investigate the explosion and provide support to the victims.Winnipeg House Explosion: Residents ContactWinnipeg House Explosion: Residents Contact Winnipeg police have confirmed that the occupants of the home that exploded in Transcona on Wednesday were not present at the time of the incident. Constable Jason Michalyshen of the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) announced on Thursday that authorities had made contact with a father and daughter who resided at the property. “They have been located, identified, and we are in conversation with them,” he said. Emergency services were dispatched to the Camrose Bay home at approximately 11:20 a.m. The explosion caused significant damage to the structure, leaving behind only the foundation. Debris scattered along the road and nearby homes and garages were also impacted by the fire. WPS, the bomb unit, and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service are actively investigating the cause of the explosion and subsequent blaze. “We are exploring all possibilities thoroughly,” Michalyshen emphasized. “Houses do not spontaneously combust; there is an explanation, and we will uncover it.” He noted that the investigation will be comprehensive due to the extensive debris field. “We anticipate being on the scene for several days, perhaps weeks or even longer. This is a complex and significant event.” The explosion has been described as a “natural disaster,” and members of the public are urged to avoid the area while the investigation is underway.Winnipeg police say the occupants of a home that exploded in Transcona on Tuesday morning are alive.
