A home in Baileys Harbor was damaged in an explosion Saturday morning. According to the Baileys Harbor Fire Department, the Mike Parent home on Logerquist Road literally was lifted off its foundation when a buildup of gas somehow ignited around 9AM. Luckily, no one was at home when the explosion occurred. Baileys Harbor firefighters report that there was significant damage to the structure, but very little fire damage. The homeowner indicated that the recent flooding left water in his crawl space, but it is unclear what caused the explosion which shifted the house several inches on its foundation and left it a total loss.
