Suspect Sought After Explosions, Massive Fire Rip Through Lower Providence Township Townhouses
By CBS3 Staff June 11, 2021 at 6:47 am
EAGLEVILLE Pa. — Explosions led to a massive fire in the Eagleville section of Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County Thursday. Several townhomes were set ablaze, gutted and charred. Several families have been displaced.
{snip}
Police say a code enforcement officer responded to a residence on Cardin Place for a follow-up inspection. For what, we still don’t know.
Police then say the man pulled out a gun on the officer, who was able to escape.
When police showed up, they say the man retreated back into his house and a short time later there were large explosions coming from the home and then a fire began to erupt, leveling the two homes on either side, including the one belonging to Imane and Elsayed.

One other person was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
