A gas leak in house at at 6120 Oregon Ave resulted in an explosion, partially destroying the one-story rambler. No one was hurt, as the residents were on vacation. Neighborhood residents reported a bomb-like sound, felt vibrations, and an air blast at around 6:30 on Saturday evening. Fire and rescue trucks from both DC and Maryland were at the site by within a few minutes, including a K9 team. Even at 8:00, when a Washington Gas team had already begun digging up the yard, the smell of the gas odorant still hung in the air.
