Owner Stuart Bryan told the newspaper that he had rented the house to the couple. Bryan said he’s owned the house for about 15 years and “never had a problem or a problem, and boom, it just blows up.”

A dog also died in the explosion, the sheriff’s office said, adding that the explosion could be heard 20 miles away.

The cause is currently under investigation by the Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office. He said officers who went to the scene saw a tank shooting propane into the air.
