Drone footage obtained by NBC Chicago shows the aftermath of an explosion that completely leveled a home Saturday in unincorporated Lisle, according to authorities.
Video taken by Eljer Roman shows smoke and flames pouring out of a field of debris, where a residence previously stood along Ivanhoe Avenue near Warrenville Road.
