The wounded were taken Santamarina hospital. Seven people are being treated, one person has been cleared. The deceased woman was identified as 43-years-old Silvina Espinoza.
Neighbors' accounts describe a ball of fire coming from the sky as the cause of the explosion. The chief of the firefighters, Guillermo Pérez, however, said the "causes remain unknown" and that "gas containers were found intact," ruling out a gas related incident.
The blast caused destruction in several structures and cars surrounding the house.

Wonder why the fire department is being so reluctant to blame a meteor.
Maybe that's just how they treat explosions.
It's hard to believe that no one is in a position to confirm that's what happened.
I would expect, though, an impact zone with debris spraying out from it. And I don't see that in this photo or the video on the other post. Maybe the camera angle is just too low to pick up a blast pattern.
