While responders were on the way to a gas leak call, an explosion occurred, according to officials, who confirmed there were deaths but declined to say how many.
Firefighters were preparing to evacuate residents when the Oak Cliff apartment building exploded. Dallas Fire-Rescue is defending the response.
The vast majority of the 50,000 people evacuated because of a damaged chemical tank loaded with 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate at an aerospace plastics facility in Orange County began returning home.
Officials have lifted all evacuation orders related to an overheating chemical tank in southern California, a day after a crack in the structure eliminated the risk of a catastrophic blast.
