Fire officials have released more information about the number of people inside a Syracuse home when an explosion caused a collapse Tuesday afternoon.
Thirteen people were treated at the hospital following a house collapse in Syracuse, New York, on Tuesday, and investigators are working to determine if a gas explosion was the cause. More than 50 firefighters responded to multiple 911 calls of what sounded like an explosion at a two-story house at around 4 p.m., Syracuse Fire Chief Michael Monds told reporters at the scene.
The fire department provided a list of those hurt that includes two fathers, two mothers and nine children. Three of the children remain in critically stable condition, the department said. Monds said police and fire officials will be investigating what caused the collapse of the home, which dates back to 1920. He noted that responding firefighters also encountered downed power lines and a heavy odor of natural gas at the scene.
