On the morning of Thursday, Dec. 11 a large explosion occurred at a home near Hayward.
The home, located on East Lewelling Boulevard, is in the unincorporated community of Ashland near Highway 238.
Video footage from a Nest camera of a home across the street shows an excavator working on the front yard of the property when the explosion occurred. Debris from the explosion scattered around the area reaching homes across the street and destroyed much of the home itself.
According to an NBC news report, eight Alameda County Fire Department engines were on the scene to contain the flames that followed the explosion and six people were injured.
