Colorado Springs firefighters are still hosing-down hot spots at a home that exploded and burned more than six hours ago.

Two people are missing, but authorities are not sure that anyone was in the home at the time of the explosion.

"It was fully involved when the crews arrived so they start attacking from the outside and they wait to go in until it's safe," said Sunny Smaldino, Colorado Springs Fire Dept.

The home is at Pepperwood and Knotwood.

Smoke can still be seen from Academy, in the Chelton area.
