£850,000 house explodes in Berkshire, leaving man with serious injuries

After an explosion in an £850,000 house left one man with significant injuries, a man was taken directly to the hospital.

The Upper Basildon, Berkshire, detached home was completely destroyed by the blaze.

The subsequent fire in the sizable home outside of Reading was fought by at least eight fire engines.

The house was reduced to a shell, with the roof completely demolished and much of the interior woodwork burned, according to drone footage taken earlier today.

Fortunately, firemen were able to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby property, which was in danger as a result of the extremely dry weather.

Thames Valley Police said they do not believe the incident is suspicious.

A spokesman told MailOnline: ‘This was a suspected explosion which caused a fire at a residential property in Aldworth Road, Upper Basildon, to which we were called at 10.42pm.

‘It is not believed to be suspicious.

‘A man has been taken to hospital and is in a serious condition.’

Fire engines from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue were joined by their colleagues from neighbouring Oxfordshire.

The cause of last night’s blaze is currently being investigated.

  1. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
