An explosion that destroyed a Calgary home and sent 10 to hospital on Monday morning is suspected to be caused by natural gas.

“At this time, (the Calgary Fire Department) suspects the explosion was caused by a natural gas leak and has sent equipment pulled from the home for investigation by a third party,” a CFD statement on Tuesday read. “Results from the investigation will not be available for a few weeks.”

In addition to one home being levelled by the explosion, two other homes in the Marlborough neighbourhood caught fire and eight others were damaged by debris. Nearby vehicles were also damaged.

Fire crews were able to put out the fires on Monday and fire investigators took over. Ten people were sent to hospital from the scene – six in life-threatening condition and four in serious condition.

Natural gas utility provider Atco told Global News no natural gas-related service calls in the area have been made in the past. Global's Adam MacVicar reports.
