VIDEO: As investigators dig through the rubble of a Wasatch County home that exploded over the weekend, there’s a similar danger for homeowners due to the changing weather.
Ryan Love with Unified Fire Authority said checking houses and outside grills is important during the transition from winter to spring.
“The snow creep could actually break or bend some of the appliances on the exterior of the house,” Love said.
Appliances that use both natural gas and propane are especially susceptible, Love said, adding it's important to check tubes and wires to make they don't have any punctures or holes in them. Just last month and a few miles down the road, a family cabin was lost in flames.
