A house explosion in Twentynine Palms left one person dead, injured two others and destroyed the home.

The explosion happened Friday night and was captured on newly released video, which shows the house erupting into a massive fireball. Three people and a dog were inside the home at the time of the blast.

Several Marines from a nearby base were among the first to respond after hearing the explosion. They rushed to the scene and pulled the victims from the rubble.

UPDATE: The Hawk Fire in Washoe County, Nevada, has grown to over 10,500 acres. The fire remained active through the night, and is showing signs of life this morning.
