A neighbourhood in Winnipeg's east side has been rocked by a home explosion that has destroyed at least one house and significantly damaged other structures.

A house on Camrose Bay, off of Coldstream Avenue, exploded around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday in Transcona, the City of Winnipeg posted.

"We've had a significant catastrophic explosion of a residence … with damage to adjacent homes and structures," Scott Wilkinson, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service deputy chief of fire rescue operations, told reporters near the scene.

Members of the fire department and Winnipeg police are still working to locate the people who live in the home that was destroyed, he said. They don't know if anyone was home at the time.
