Emergency crews responded to what they believe to be a house explosion in Shawano County early Thursday morning. The call came in around 5am, and it was described as a loud boom.
“The fire department and EMS responded and we are trying to determine the origin of what happened out here” Shawano County Detective Gordon Kowalski said.
One nearby neighbor said she saw a ball of fire above the trees and soon after heard a loud explosion. Many neighbors have commented that they heard an explosion, one resident said it was heard all the way in Keshena.
Kowalski said they have made contact with one of the two home owners. That person was not home at the time of the explosion.
“We are waiting for the State Fire Marshals to respond, and they will be great assistance for this.” Kowalski said an investigation process is in place.
