Derry Fire Department Shawn Haggart said crews responded to reports of a house explosion on Goodhue Road around 11:40 a.m. When they arrived they found heavy fire and the building partially collapsed, with one person was unaccounted for.
The homeowner, John Giso, told NBC10 Boston that their mother-in-law and 11-year-old daughter were home at the time. His wife told him they were looking out a window and saw a tree fall and hit the house."My daughter ran out of the house, one of the neighbors had stopped and she called my wife," he said."Right now, my daughter is OK, she has some burns to her face.”An elderly woman was found dead inside the home after the explosion, fire officials said.
“It certainly is a tragic day. I’m very proud of all the responders here today and their actions and how they handled this today. I would ask that everybody keeps the family in their thoughts as we process this tragedy. And the same thing for my members, have them in your thoughts as well.”
