Twenty-one people in Sterling were  kicked out of their homes after an explosion occurred on the third floor of the apartment building.

There were no injuries in the fire, but the residential homes did receive damage. Most of the fire was extinguished by the sprinkler system, but the fire crews put out the rest of it.

A preliminary investigation showed that a gas leak from a water heater may have caused the explosion. Eleven apartment units were damaged as a result of the fire. The damage is valued at $300,000.

A 75-year-old elderly woman was killed after a gas explosion that caused the roof on her home to collapse.

Firefighting crews and other emergency personnel arrived at the scene to put out the fire that the explosion caused. Two elderly people were living in the home at the time.

Emergency crews found one woman beneath the fallen roof. Investigators are trying to determine whether the blast was caused by the elderly woman lighting the stove.

Reports came in about a gas smell around 7:30 p.m. in the Tacony neighborhood and the fire department and employees from the Philadelphia Gas Works responded to the scene.

When they got to the scene, they discovered that there was a water main and gas main break. The PGW worked to shut off the gas, but the gas main exploded and a fireball shot 50 feet in the air.

An employee with PGW was killed and three more employees were injured and they required treatment at a burn center. The hospital is also treating a firefighter that was injured in the blast. The gas was shut off and was eventually extinguished by 11:00 p.m.
