Firefighters attend blast at house

At around 01 15hrs this morning two fire appliances from Maryhill Community Fire Station attended a call to a suspected explosion in a house at 37 Stronend Street Glasgow.

On arrival at the scene it was found that a blast had occurred damaging the rear wall of the house. The female occupier of the house was treated at the scene for slight injuries but did not attend hospital.
