The Fire Marshal’s Office claims it can confirm that it is aware that the homeowners of the home were having hot water tank issues before the blast occurred. The tank was reportedly located in the basement of the home.

Furthermore, officials will now reportedly “investigate that information along with any and all other possibilities during their processes that may explain what occurred.”
