INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Indianapolis Fire Department shared a story Saturday night about a family from the Richmond Hill subdivision.

The night of the explosion, a father and his 12-year-old son were driving to Evansville for a soccer tournament.

The boy’s mother called and alerted the two of the home explosion on Indianapolis’ south side.

When the two returned, they found their home suffered significant damages. Nearly everything in the home was damaged, except for their son's Legos.

In his room, 15 shelves held all of his Lego creations – 12 of those works still sat on the shelves, undamaged.

The 12-year-old told fire crews that having his Legos survive is the one thing that makes him smile.
