Brookings home explosion:
What happened Thursday
The Brookings Fire Department was called out just before noon Thursday to 618 Sixth Avenue for an explosion and “active structure fire.”
“It’s all under investigation at this point, but we believe it was an accident,” Fire Chief Darrell Hartmann told a reporter for the Brookings Register the day of the explosion.

Fire battled from outside
Hartmann said he arrived at the scene shortly after the call had gone out. “We did have a heavily involved structure fire,” he said. “When I did my search around the building, did have a portion in the back blown free.”
Hartmann said that because he did not know the structural integrity of the house, firefighters battled the fire from the outside.
“Once we got it pretty well under control, sent crews in all levels,” Hartmann said. “Once we got the smoke lifted, we did find one fatality.”

Mechanical malfunction probable
According to Hartmann, the initial explosion was at the back of the house.
“Talking to the agents, it appears we had some type of mechanical (malfunction) in the basement on the natural gas line,” Hartmann said. “It started filling at least the basement structure and found an ignition source, and that was the explosion and the seat of the fire.”

Perrine said the driver was alert and conscious when he was taken from the scene to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
