Explosion at Muscatine home under investigation
An early-morning explosion at a Muscatine home on Saturday remains under investigation, according to a news release from the City of Muscatine.. No injuries were reported among the occupants or emergency responders. Shortly after 6:15 a.m., the Muscatine Joint Communications Center (MUSCOM) received a 911 call reporting a loud boom and visible smoke at a residence on the 1000 block of East 8th Street. Similar reports were received from across the surrounding area. When fire crews arrived on the scene, they found the residents safely outside and saw light smoke in the vicinity. 'Visible damage to the front door of the home appeared consistent with an explosion,' the release says. Firefighters quickly cleared smoke from the interior of the residence. Because of the nature of the incident, the Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office was requested to assist with the investigation. Investigators remained on site until about 9 a.m. While the cause of the explosion remains under investigation, officials believe it was an isolated event. The Muscatine Fire Department is being assisted by the State Fire Marshal and the Muscatine Police Department. Preliminary fire damage is estimated at $1,000. Fourteen firefighters from the Muscatine Fire Department responded, along with personnel from the Muscatine Police Department and the State Fire Marshal's Office. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
