DALLAS (AP) – Three firefighters remained in critical condition after an explosion in a Dallas apartment complex, authorities said.
The explosion occurred on Wednesday morning in the residential complex where the fire department responded to a reported natural gas leak. A two-story building partially collapsed, four firefighters and four civilians were injured.
Dallas-Fire Rescue announced late Wednesday that all four civilians were released from the hospital along with one of the firefighters.
The building where the explosion occurred had 10 units and all residents were recorded, authorities said. The structure itself was demolished later Wednesday due to security issues and an investigation into the cause of the explosion was underway.
The Dallas Fire Rescue said the investigation had cut off natural gas for the entire complex and displaced about 300 people. All buildings in the complex are inspected before residents return.
