They were called to a property in Church View, Newport following reports of a gas explosion at 1:45pm.
One person, the only member of the household, was injured and taken to Southmead Hospital for the treatment of two burns.
Police have closed the cul-de-sac while enquiries are conducted into the cause of the explosion.
