Propane Leak Suspected in Pennsylvania Home Blast That Killed Mother and Six Children

Authorities say a house exploded in Lamar Township early Sunday, killing a mother and her six children aged 3 to 11. Fire crews arriving at around 8:30 a.m. could not enter due to the intense blaze. Police believe a propane leak inside the home may have triggered the blast. Exterior tanks nearby did not explode and were not a factor, officials said. Neighbours reported hearing a loud boom before seeing flames. The Pennsylvania State Police and a fire investigation unit are leading the ongoing probe.
