Emergency crews worked for hours Thursday night to rescue the trapped victim in the home in Taylor, which is just outside of Scranton.
The explosion rocked the neighborhood around 8:30 and leveled the home.
The victim was pulled from the rubble and taken to the hospital nearly two-and-a-half hours after the blast.
There is no word yet on what caused the explosion.
