Refrigerator Explosion Brings California Firefighters

Firefighters were called to a residence in the Foothill Farms area of Sacramento County on Thursday after a refrigerator exploded, fire officials reported.

The blast was strong enough to blow out at least one window of the duplex.

Investigators said the owner of the duplex recently evicted the tenants.

The landlord was at the residence to clean up when the explosion occurred.

Fire officials said the owner may have sprayed bug killer in the refrigerator, which may have triggered the blast.
