NextImg:15 injured in explosion that leveled multifamily home in Wappingers Falls

A booming gas explosion leveled a multifamily building in Wappingers Falls Thursday, injuring 15 people — including two children, officials said.

First responders dug through rubble to help survivors as flames were still shooting from the collapsed building and surrounding area, authorities said, according to reports.

Eight adults, two kids and five first responders were injured in the powerful explosion that happened around 12:15 p.m. in the Dutchess County community. The cause appears to be from a gas leak, police reportedly said.

Smoke could still be seen billowing from the fire.

Central Hudson said preliminarily a contractor for the power company struck a three-fourths gas line that sparked the blast, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported.

The exact cause of the explosion is still being investigated.

A woman who lives across the street told CBS 2 her mother was home at the time and said the windows were blown out and the front door flew open.

“She looked out and the other building was gone,” the neighbor said.
