ROY, Utah — Two explosions at a home in Roy injured two people Wednesday, with a firefighter and an HVAC worker being transported to the hospital.
"There was just a big boom," said Cathy Lucero-Bennington. "Then there were all these sirens, way too many, and they got really close really fast."

Workers were installing an HVAC system at the home near 2900 West and 5700 South when the first explosion occurred, blowing out the side of the house.
When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke coming from the house near the roof and smelled gas. They were able to put out the fire inside the house, but then a second explosion occurred in the front of the house and blew out several windows.
One HVAC worker and one firefighter were taken to a local hospital to be treated for heat-related injuries, according to Roy City Fire & Rescue.
"It just kept getting a lot scarier," said Lucero-Bennington. "Minute by minute."
Following the explosions, a warning was sent out to keep the public out of the area.
Lucero-Bennington started packing up in case they had to leave. Three houses were evacuated.
"I was like, 'Well, we have to leave. I don't want to explode,'" she said.
A homeowner was in the house at the time of the first explosion but was not hurt.
Officials say an investigation into what caused the explosions is underway.
