NORTH BRADDOCK, Pa. (AP) — Emergency crews and utility officials are on the scene of a house explosion in western Pennsylvania.
Alvin Henderson, Allegheny County’s chief of emergency services, confirms there was a report of an explosion shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday in North Braddock. But Henderson says he has not been briefed by officials at the scene.
County 911 dispatchers say the call came in at 10:49 a.m. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
But video from WPXI-TV shows significant damage to the residence, which appears to be unstable but not completely leveled.
It was not immediately clear which natural gas company was called to the scene.
North Braddock is a suburb about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, along the Monongahela River.
