A nearby resident expressed shock: "I was in the kitchen cooking when I heard it - I didn't know it was an explosion." This illustrates the unexpected nature of the blast.
Another local recalled, "Everyone came out to help, I kept shouting through the window, 'Is everyone OK in there'?" This highlights the immediate community response to the panic.
The carer's bravery shone through, as one witness noted, "That wee carer stayed to the bitter end, she was the last one out - she went above and beyond.".
A local reflection captured the gravity of the moment: "It's very scary and they are lucky to be alive. It's a miracle." This sums up the community's relief after the evacuation.
