Gas Explosion In Chicago Apartment

Comments Off

RESIDENTS OF A 3-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING IN CHICAGO smelled natural gas in the building after the gas company had worked there, but nobody thought to call the Fire Department.

Later in the afternoon a teen-age girl tried to light the kitchen stove and triggered an explosion that started a fire and severely burned her.  Two neighbors rescued her from the building and took her outside.  On arrival the FD at first thought she had jumped.
