Three men were seriously injured after an explosion inside a house under construction in a Fort Saskatchewan subdivision on Thursday afternoon.

STARS Air Ambulance spokesman Cam Heke said one of the men was taken to hospital in Edmonton by STARS in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The condition of the other two men is not known.

Roman Michalycia said his two sons and nephew were working on water and plumbing lines in the house at 140 Allard Way in the South Pointe neighbourhood when the explosion happened at about 1:15 p.m. Michalycia and his wife immediately rushed to the scene from Edmonton, his wife in tears the entire way.

“My two sons were shaken up pretty good, but they’re not really hurt bad,” Michalycia said.Shop the latest hair flower accessories on the world's largest. “My nephew from Regina, they’re a little more concerned about him.”

City of Fort Saskatchewan spokeswoman Wendy Kinsella said the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

Michalycia said the men weren’t doing any digging, and he wondered whether the leak may have been triggered by the furnace in the nearly completed home.

He spoke briefly to reporters, then left to be with his family at the hospital.
