An explosion has leveled a house in Warren.

Warren Police Lt. John Gajewski said the explosion happened at about 11 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in the 1400 block of Hendricks Avenue at the corner of Elroy Avenue near Nine Mile and Schoenherr roads.

The home was vacant and no injuries were reported, Gajewski said. However, the house sustained extensive damage, and debris covered much of the property.

Gajewski said Warren Fire Department officials are investigating the explosion's cause.

Warren fire officials were not immediately available for comment on Friday.

Officials for Consumers Energy, which provides natural gas services in the area, were also not immediately available for comment.

On Friday morning, charred debris was scattered across the lot and on neighboring yards. Most of a house's remains sat in a pile, and some leaned against the next-door home, which showed signs of damage. The neighborhood is filled with wooden bungalow-style houses.

Other house explosions have been reported in Michigan.

In May, a house exploded in Comstock Park near Grand Rapids, killing a man and leaving a woman in critical condition.

Last year, a woman died, and a man was severely injured after what police said was a house explosion in Southgate.
