Two people were flown to a burn unit after their Destin house caught on fire.

Authorities say the unidentified victims were taken by helicopter to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola and later moved to the University of South Alabama Burn Center in Mobile Thursday afternoon. Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Michele Nicholson says one victim is in sever condition.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze within five minutes and no other injuries were reported. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, but Nicholson says gas was involved.
