Apartment building partially collapses, 7 injured: Dallas

A Dallas apartment building has partially collapsed after firefighters were called to investigate a carbon monoxide leak, according to officials.


When firefighters arrived at the South Dallas apartment building around 10:30 a.m. local time, they noticed an odor of gas around the building, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.

An explosion occurred while fire crews were investigating the scene, causing the two-story building to partially collapse, officials said.


The fire was producing flames and heavy smoke by 11 a.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans told reporters in a news conference Wednesday afternoon. At least half of the building appeared to be badly damaged and piles of debris from the building could be seen strewn around the structure.

You can't smell carbon monoxide so this was a gas leak which most likely caused the explosion... brush Sep 2021 #2

After Surfside, people are already freaked out about buildings collapsing suddenly.

We don't need the implication that more buildings are just falling down without any reason.

which partially collapsed the building.

It's nothing like the Surfside collapse.
