A large fire breaks out after an explosion at a two-story apartment building in Dallas’ Oak Cliff neighborhood, authorities report. One account says a damaged gas line is the suspected cause, leading to a major blaze that reaches five-alarm status. Multiple sources agree that at least four people are injured. Firefighters respond to the structure fire, and crews are on scene assessing damage and searching for additional victims. The New York Times reports that three people die in the fire, while both outlets describe the incident as involving a significant explosion and a major fire that produces heavy smoke visible from the area. Officials do not fully detail the number of victims in each report beyond the agreed injured count, but they indicate the situation is active and that responders may find more victims as the search continues. Emergency crews work to contain the fire and investigate the cause, with attention focused on the reported gas line damage.
