CANYON COUNTRY -- An explosion sounded Friday afternoon in Canyon Country, moments before a house was engulfed in flames In Flames is a melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden founded in 1990. Along with Dark Tranquillity and At the Gates, they pioneered what is now known as melodic death metal. .

The three-bedroom home was gutted -- except for the attached garage -- but nobody was hurt, county Fire Capt. Michael Erb said.

Erb said the fire appeared to have started in the back yard of the Keaton Street home, and while the cause was unknown, investigators would look at the possibility that a propane propane, CH3CH2CH3, colorless, gaseous alkane.

Neighbors first hurried to help by battling the flames using garden hoses, then retreated to care for the distraught family, owners of the popular Cruz's Bridal Shop in Saugus.

``I was coming home from work and saw black smoke and flames,'' neighbor Don Richards said. ``Some of us grabbed garden hoses, but it started to get gnarly (jargon) gnarly - /nar'lee/ Both obscure and hairy.

``It's so sad to lose everything.''

Fire engineer Carlo Loffredo was first on scene and saw flames shooting from the rear of the house. It was too hot to go inside.

``The house was boiling,'' Erb said. ``We're lucky nobody got hurt.''
