Ten people were hospitalized after a house in Syracuse, New York collapsed Tuesday in a possible gas explosion, officials said.
Syracuse Fire Chief Michael Monds said about 50 firefighters responded to the residence at 205 Carbon Street around 4 p.m. ET, where they smelled a strong odor of gas and found a car underneath the collapse.
Multiple victims were found spread out around the building, Monds said. Ten people — including some children — were taken to the hospital, eight of whom were in serious condition.
Victims are expected to be treated for crush injuries and burns, he said.
Firefighters are conducting search and rescue efforts.
