The explosion occurred around 1:39 p.m. in the 5800 block of Goble Road in Earlville. Upon arrival, officials said the house was leveled.
One person was transported to an area hospital with unknown injuries.
Multiple surrounding agencies responded to the scene as the house remained on fire.

Earlville is about 70 miles west of Chicago.
