MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Fire Service continues to investigate the house fire on Hudson Way Wednesday afternoon.

The fire started with an explosion in a home on Hudson Way, which damaged two neighbouring houses.

Fire crews say no occupants were inside the two neighbouring homes, but they have been unable to confirm if anybody was in the home where the explosion took place. Investigators are waiting to ensure the home is safe to enter before the investigation begins.

CHAT News Today caught up with a witness to the fire, and spoke with Deputy Fire chief Lance Purcell for an update on fire fighting efforts. Watch below.
