Firefighters say one woman was killed and another injured in an explosion at a house in the Grady County town of Amber.

Amber Fire Chief Mike Norman told reporters that the Thursday night explosion was likely due to a propane gas leak in the home.

Norman said the injured woman was taken to a local hospital with a broken leg. 

He said there were also children in the home who escaped with no apparent injuries.

No names have been released yet.
