Doorbell footage has shown the moment a tumble dryer exploded in a Scots home as firefighters tried to control a blaze thought to have been sparked by the machine. Two firefighters can be seen entering the house in Livingston, West Lothian, as an alarm blares in the background.
One can be heard in the video radioing for hose rail to be brought into the property. He then leaves the house to help his colleague get the hose over a fence.
As the pair quickly pull the hose towards the home, a loud bang can be heard and the emergency workers jump back as they feel the impact of the tumble dryer exploding, narrowly escaping the full extent of the blast. The footage then shows the aftermath of the explosion as flames can be seen from the corner of the screen and smoke begins to pour out of the door.
