Latest news from the scene (Sunday, November 23, at 11pm)

Homeowners were evacuated following the “huge explosion” in Old Watery Lane, Wooburn Green, at about 5.30pm, with residents reporting that nearby buildings shook from the force of the blast.

Dozens of firefighters remained at the scene for 24 hours, tackling the smouldering semi-detached building which was completely destroyed.

The road is currently shut, with people from about five houses in the road, off Watery Lane, being asked to leave their homes as a safety precaution.

Apart from the couple's  next door neighbours, all have now returned.

Bucks Fire and Rescue has now confirmed that they rescued a man, injured, and a woman was released, injured, before they arrived, following the suspected gas explosion.

It is not known what condition the pair are currently in.

A resident from Barley Fields, who did not want to be named, said: “I just heard a loud explosion. I didn’t think anything of it at first and then I had a message from my daughter saying ‘are you still alive’.

“It’s really worrying. It looks to me like it has taken the building clean away. All you could see was dust and water in a big empty space.”

Many have left messages on the Bucks Free Press Facebook page following the incident.

Tania Hancocks said: “This was so scary. The explosion went right through us and the power from it was like a bomb. The poor family. Thought and prays go out to them.”

Abbie Barszcz said: “Poor people... I hope no one was in and who Evers house it is is ok and have somewhere to go.. Losing a house like that must be totally devastating.. X”
