House explosion caused 'really loud' boom across Bucks County township

Police say they were "flooded" with 911 calls after some loud noise left residents wondering what happened.

"We are going to give you some of the deets," Middletown Township police said in a Facebook post Saturday.

They say the loud boom was caused by a house explosion and fire on Silver Spruce Road.
