Emergency crews scrambled to Kellie Place following reports of the blast at around 6pm on Sunday, October 6.
One man, who was inside the property when the explosion happened, was killed and was pronounced dead at the scene but has not been formally identified. Three other people from the same block of flats were rushed to Forth Valley Royal Infirmary for treatment to minor injuries.
Ellen Forson, the leader of Clackmannanshire Council, told the BBC that initial investigations suggested the wider area was safe. Rosie Adamson, who lives on Kellie Place, said she was terrified after hearing the horror sounds and ran to her window to see what was going. "I heard the explosion, and then I immediately heard the emergency service sirens. By the time I'd run in there, the police and fire service and ambulances were all outside. They were so quick - I couldn't fault how quick they were.Part of the roof of the property was ripped off by the blast and a gaping hole has been left in the first floor of the building.
