VIDEO: (Warning: There is some language) Authorities in Princeton battled a large fire at Clark and Hart Street. There say there was a natural gas explosion at a home, which is split up into apartments, around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. There is heavy damage and several first responders were called to the scene. Surveillance video from Mike Couts shows the moment the house exploded. Officials tell us two people were taken to the hospital by ambulance. They believe four people lived there. Officials say CenterPoint and Duke Energy were at the scene. We spoke with two people who lived in the home, Diaghman Gibson and Tesia Crumbaugh. They tell our Mitch Carter the maintenance man was trying to get the heater to work before the explosion happened. “Woke up to the smell of gas. Something told me to leave,” says Gibson, “so I got up and got ready, talked to the maintenance man, told him I was leaving, and to lock up whenever they was done, and I’d be back in a little bit.”
