SAN FRANCISCO -- The deadly explosion and fire at a home in San Francisco's Sunset District has left neighbors in shock as they take stock of the damage to their own homes.

Surveillance footage has emerged of a deadly house explosion that wiped out a suspected drug lab in San Francisco. The surveillance video was caught from one of the nearby homes in the city's Sunset District.

According to Barker, the controlled detonation will not impact surrounding homes or structures, but that the home where the dynamite was found will be "uninhabitable" after the detonation. "I look out the window and I see a big ball of fire and the house just like this, it was destroyed completely," Rogelio Avalos, who lives nearby, said. Investigators are working to determine what caused a Victorville home to explode, sending a woman to the hospital. "Quiet neighborhood. People are nice, and in the middle of the street, you have this guy who is doing something illegally," said Karen Lei.

Remarkably, despite being on fire and suffering burns to her head, torso and hands, Lisa managed to escape and attempted to save Price's wife, who was sitting in the living room and perished in the explosion. An immigrant from Thailand, Lisa overcame many personal challenges, ones too painful to share with the public today. But one of her greatest joys, she says was working for Darron Price and caring for his paralyzed wife the past five years. City departments will be there offering information and resources to help these neighbors move forward.

While Lisa slowly heals, a Thai community group has set up a GoFundMe so that she can rebuild her life. But her gratitude toward the community she has called home the past eight years remains strong. "I went downstairs to do laundry. I didn't know what to do, I just ran out. Only a minute, then boom. I didn't know what happened," says Lisa, from her hospital bed. She shows Lim her hands which are bandaged along each finger and unable to move enough to even use a phone. "I'm very thankful that we're alive and that we weren't in the house, and as far as our possessions go, obviously we have to rebuild from scratch," he said. "It smell like skunk. It smell like gas leaking," said Nang Phommavongsay.

She was airlifted after the explosion and is now in a Colton hospital recovering with severe burns. An insurance assessor, arson investigator, and code compliance gathered at the scene of this home explosion on Adalane Court in Victorville. "It was like a bomb and then the house caught fire in the garage," Ng said.

Earlier Friday, several tanks of unknown substances were seen being loaded onto a box truck, which later that morning had to pull over in Daly City after the driver smelled some sort of gas. The gas escape led to a hazardous materials response by firefighters along Junipero Serra Blvd. and interrupted BART service on the Peninsula for several hours. “Investigators determined that an illegal narcotics manufacturing lab was located in the home during the incident.

One person that was inside of the home was also seriously hurt, and a firefighter was taken to the hospital with minor injuries but was back home Thursday night. "Yes, we have seen vehicles damaged, homes damaged," said SF Fire Chief Jeanine Nicholson. "And I think a lot of the neighbors here are just sort of in shock."

"So for sure, the house is in bad shape and not livable anymore." "The firefighters were able to take me to the back of the house downstairs to grab the coats," said Karen Lei. Mason said his tenant did not notice any red flags about the residents next door. The SF Fire Department said federal partners are assisting in this investigation. Michael Mason showed us his childhood home, which is still owned by his grandparents. Their tenant lives right next door to the home that exploded Thursday.

Those charges include involuntary manslaughter, manufacturing a controlled substance, four counts of reckless burning, two counts of child endangerment, and one count of elder abuse in connection with the explosion. Darron Price, 53, faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, manufacturing drugs, and child endangerment. A partial police report obtained by ABC7 News anchor Dion Lim on Friday says a couple lived in the house along with their two children, who were at school at the time of the explosion. The truck was parked in front of a house in a residential neighborhood where the fireworks were found. Law enforcement officials and residents were in the area at the time. Area residents told KPIX that a family of four, including a husband, wife and two children, lived in the home.

A Utah neighborhood was evacuated and locked down Tuesday night after "ancient dynamite" was found in a home, authorities said. As investigators work to learn more about what may have caused the blast, neighbors like Jaden Stewart are trying to help. The woman was disabled and was often assisted by a caretaker, who was in the basement doing laundry when the explosion happened.

The force of the blast shattered windows up and down the street and left two other homes uninhabitable. SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- We're hearing more from neighbors who lived nearby the San Francisco Outer Sunset home that exploded last week, killing one person. Two children who lived in the house were at school at the time of the blast. It's not known where Price was at the time of the incident or where the children are now.

Images from social media showed a large plume of smoke emanating from the fire. People living in the area reported hearing and feeling the explosion around the time the fire erupted. The San Francisco Fire Department said the fire was upgraded to three alarms. A photo tweeted out by the SFFF Local 798 Union showed the residence fully engulfed in flames. "For those of you who knew her...she had a very kind soul and a heart of gold. Her smile and laugh were infectious. The world was a better place with her in it," Oliveros wrote on a GoFundMe page.

"The family and friends are struggling to accept the sudden and cruel way she left this world. The heartbreak is overwhelming." The origin and cause of the explosion remain under investigation. Firefighters alongside American Red Cross officials will continue to assist residents who were evacuated or displaced from the fire, according to Baxter. The number of residents displaced from the fire has not been determined. Noriega's home was one of the two homes knocked off their foundation by the blast. SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco Firefighters lined up shoulder to shoulder as rescue crews made a grim discovery Thursday night.

The two Price children were not home at the time of the blast and neither was Darron Price. He was arrested and charged with manufacturing drugs, child engagement and manslaughter. On Friday, San Francisco police said the evidence recovered indicated a drug manufacturing lab was in the house.

The driver was picked up by a vehicle that is believed to have been following the driver. The driver has been located at a hospital and is currently in critical condition. "The house that I grew up in, just in shreds, just soot and debris everywhere ... so it's hard," said Mason. Another homeowner who only wanted to share her first name "Chris" said her son, who lives at the property two doors down, didn't know much about his neighbors. Police said that Mr Price lived at the property, but did not provide further details about his connection to the female victim.
