MONACA, Pa. (KDKA) - A significant response was needed this morning in Monaca following calls about a possible explosion. 

According to the police chief, it's believed that a water leak caused a natural gas leak inside the home.

They were taken to the hospital to be treated for their burns. 

As a result, some of the windows of the home were broken in the blast but overall, according to crews on the scene, fire damage was minimal.
