An explosion in Levant this morning sends a family running from their home.
When firefighters got to the scene on the Overlock Road, they had a hard time finding the source of the problem.
They did find that copper pipes had melted downstairs. Fire crews suspect their was a problem with the boiler causing an explosion.
A sprinkler system put out the flames.
"The family was home, they were upstairs. They heard a noise. The family got right outdoors and called 9-1-1 and dispatched us.", says Levant Assistant Fire Chief Nathan Peary.
Firefighters from Levant, Carmel, Holden, Stetson and Kenduskeag responded. They say there is a lot of smoke and water damage downstairs.
A fire marshal investigator has been called in to look for a cause.
