One resident of the street said that the noise of the explosion 'lingered'
A man said his game of Call of Duty turned into 'real life' when a neighbouring house suddenly blew up. At around 12.43pm today , a two-storey property on Benedict Street, Bootle exploded, leaving residents who heard the 'loud bang' wondering if a 'lorry had dropped from the sky'. When fire crews arrived, they found the terraced house on fire. Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and rescued two people, who were conscious and breathing.
A 'big bang' was heard by one woman just after 12.30pm. She told the ECHO: 'I heard a bang but I thought it was work fellas in the street. Then I checked my Ring Doorbell and saw a fire engine going down the street. 'I went outside and saw a load of people walking past so I headed down the street and saw that the front of a house had been blown off. It was shocking.
