A Monday morning explosion blew out windows and left a condominium in shambles in southeast Fort Collins.

Poudre Fire Authority crews were called about 10:15 a.m. Monday to 2602 Timberwood Drive, near the intersection of Corbett Drive and Harmony Road, on a report of an explosion, said Capt. Patrick Love, PFA spokesman. The residence was part of an eight-unit complex of homes but was the only one that sustained damages. Neighbors reported feeling the jolt.

There was no smoke or fire when crews arrived, Love said. The explosion sent a window pane flying more than 20 feet into the grass, and it left shattered glass along the concrete. Interior photos and furniture were strewn about the living room.
Two men were home at the time of the blast, but neither was injured.

Fire and law enforcement investigators remained on the scene until about 2 p.m. Additional information about the cause or origin was not immediately made available, however police investigators said it was not believed to have been related to gas.
