An explosion has injured several people at a house in Nottinghamshire, with some thought to be trapped inside. | |
The county's fire service said the home in Wright Street, Newark, was severely damaged in the blast, thought to be caused by gas, at 17:10 BST. | |
One person has been rescued from the building but others remain unaccounted for. | |
The police said they believe three or four people may have been hurt, but it is not known how seriously. | |
A police spokesman said neighbours are being asked to stay indoors and keep windows closed to reduce the effects of dust and any gas fumes. | |
The fire service said it has specialist rescue equipment and four fire engines at the scene. | |
