Possessions can be replaced (though I am sorry the home appears to be a total loss). The important thing is that the teenager was able to make it out safely. Looks like he even saved the pets. God was watching over him.

I'm from the fire service, and it's either an "engine" or a "truck".

i.e. a "fire engine." You ain't from around here, are ya?

What is an "engine truck"????

Did u know what the 'explosion' might have been? Thank God no one was hurt...hopefully they can rebuild.
