Power has been shut off to both of the buildings. Crews from Xcel Energy are also at the scene shutting off the gas supply. Residents in the area may experience power and gas outages.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined, a fire official said. Crews first responded around 6 p.m.

The homes are located on the western edge of the Washington Park West neighborhood, blocks from the Sam’s Club and Safeway on South Broadway.
