GAP, Pa. (AP) - A cabin exploded in Lancaster County, killing the homeowner and injuring a firefighter battling the intense two-alarm blaze that engulfed the structure.

Shortly after neighbors called 911 at 4:50 p.m. Saturday, firefighters arrived to find "heavy fire throughout'' the single-family cabin in Salisbury Township, said Gap Fire Co. Chief Brad Kurtz.

The property was "engulfed immediately,'' she said. "It was gone by the time the tanker trucks got there.''

Kurtz did not know the victim's identity. Neighbors also did not know his name.

Two neighbors said the man moved there from California several months ago. A car in the driveway carried a California license plate.

The fire was brought under control around 7:30 p.m. said Kurtz, who declared the property a total loss.

One firefighter was taken to a hospital for treatment after she slipped and fell on the slick road.

Kurtz said the cause of the explosion was not immediately known.
