LA Times  

A house in Long Beach was destroyed in an explosion that also damaged another structure on the property Monday morning. An explosion in an accessory dwelling unit in Long Beach Monday morning obliterated the unit, injuring one and displacing three people. At 11 a.m., Long Beach firefighters responded to reports of an explosion on the 2800 block of Gale Avenue, officials said. When the first engine arrived to the scene, an explosion was confirmed and multiple small fires were reported, according to the Long Beach Fire Department. The house in front of the ADU sustained minor structural damage and has been “yellow tagged” by Long Beach authorities, meaning the building can be entered during the day but is not habitable, the fire department said.
