An oxygen tank is what caused the fireball. Three firefighters were knocked to the ground and two of them were seen crawling away from the home.
Fire departments from New Hope and Owens Cross Roads responded to the home around 1:30 a.m.
A fire marshal on scene said the homeowner was cooking when a grease fire erupted in the kitchen.
