Ten people have been transported to the hospital and several others are unaccounted for after a fire and explosion at a Maryland apartment building Thursday morning, officials said. Three victims are being treated for serious injuries while seven others are in conditions ranging from mild to moderate, according to Montgomery County Fire Chief Scott Goldstein.
Around 10:30 a.m., a fire was reported at the Friendly Garden Apartments in Silver Spring, officials said. Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters were able to pull several people from inside the building before it "became completely consumed by fire" and collapsed, Goldstein said Thursday, according to CBS Baltimore.
An unspecified number of people are unaccounted for, Goldstein said. The blast also displaced about 100 people.
Some may have been lost hikers, runaway children, or wanderers.
