Natural Gas Explosion Forces Evacuations at Glendale Apartments

A natural gas explosion at a Glendale apartment complex Saturday night resulted in occupants of the complex searching for a place to sleep for the night.

No injuries were reported per the Glendale Police Department, which also confirmed that the fire officials were responding to what is being called a "natural gas explosion."

Blown out windows and debris were visible due to the blast, and residents were not allowed to stay the night in their homes, as authorities investigated confirmed that another explosion would not occur and also find the root of the blast.

Residents of the apartment complex were being escorted into their homes in order to retrieve necessary items before seeking overnight shelter elsewhere, but the fact that no one was injured in an explosion that shook the neighborhood seemed like a minor miracle.
