Police have arrested a man following an explosion at a house in Blackley.
Shortly after 12.25pm on Monday 16 January 2017, officers were called to reports of an explosion at an address on Cecil Road.
Serious damage was caused to two properties, with some minor damage to surrounding premises.
Residents of surrounding homes were evacuated for a short time.
Following the incident, two men remain in hospital. One is in a critical condition and the other is in a stable condition.
One of whom, a 33-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing an explosion to endanger life. He is the man in a stable condition.
The scene is still being investigated and enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Dave Sinclair, of GMP’s City of Manchester Team, said: “This was a devastating incident which has left two people in hospital with serious injuries and destroyed part of a terraced street.
“Good progress is being made as we continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, but we still need to hear from anyone who believes they have any information about what happened.
“The house is now being treated as a crime scene. Given the problematic working conditions, it may be several days before we will be able to return the street to normality.
“I would like to thank the community for their continued co-operation as police, the local authority and other emergency services remain at the scene to carry on with the investigation.
“My officers will be on hand in the local area and will be updating members of the public with information as we progress this investigation.
“If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to approach and speak to my officers at the scene or contact the local neighbourhood officers.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 3101 and quote the reference number 880 of 16/01/17, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
This was taken last year in Badalona, near Barcelona, during local festivities called Corre Foc. It's an original local custom when some people dress up in special clothing and walk around the town center with crazy fireworks in their hands. It lasts for about 2 hours during which the whole town seems to be under bombardment :)

Diego esta en la edad en la que todo es una explosión. Exploción de ideas, de ímpetu, de amor, de odio, etc.
Fireworks at Cedar Lake Speedway, New Richmond, Wisconsin. I just like the way this looks more like bombs exploding than fireworks...war like as opposed to fun.
I saw the carousel, I saw the colours and I wanted to mix them up. I got an explosion and the result a rainbow of colors.
