SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) _ A tape of firefighters frantically calling for water to try to rescue a man who later died has been played for jurors at the trial of an Indianapolis man charged in a fatal house explosion.

The tape was played Tuesday at the trial of Mark Leonard. He's charged with murder, arson, insurance fraud and conspiracy in connection with the 2012 blast that killed John “Dion'' Longworth and his wife, Jennifer, and damaged or destroyed about 80 homes.

Fire Battalion Chief Mark Culver became emotional describing firefighters' efforts to rescue John Longworth the night of the blast as dazed residents walked around in pajamas.

Lt. Russell Futrell testified that the sound of the blast woke him at a nearby fire station and left him wondering whether a plane had crashed.
