"Tragic Virginia Home Explosion Claims Firefighter's Life and Injures Dozens"

A massive home explosion in Northern Virginia's Loudoun County killed one firefighter, injured 11 other firefighters, and two civilians. The explosion occurred after a 500-pound underground propane tank leaked and migrated into the home, leading to a "catastrophic explosion" at 8:25 p.m. Multiple mayday calls were reported for firefighters trapped inside the structure, with others outside the home injured as well. The fallen firefighter was identified as Trevor Brown, 45, who worked with the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company. An investigation into the explosion's cause is ongoing.
