SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – An explosion at a Serra Mesa home early Wednesday morning sent two people to the hospital.

The incident happened just after 4:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of Greyling Drive, according to authorities.

San Diego Fire-Rescue crews and San Diego Police were dispatched to the area after multiple reports of a loud noise and a fire at the home. Some neighbors said they woke up to a “bang” and heard screams in the neighborhood.

Emergency responders helped get a man and woman out of the house and treated them at the scene before they were transported to the hospital.

Firefighters were able to douse the flames before it spread to nearby homes.
