At least six people were seriously injured, and firefighters were searching for more survivors.
Seven people were hospitalized, while a woman was pronounced dead at the scene, the department said on itspage. Rescuers were painstakingly going through the rubble by hand, prepared to work into the night. BGE said it responded to the scene at the fire department’s request to shut off all gas and electric service to make the scene safe. BGE has canvassed the area and found no current readings of gas. A statement from the utility said it will conduct an investigation of its equipment in the area.
“I jumped up to see what was going on. I looked out the bathroom window and there was a house on the ground,” she said. “It sounded like a bomb went off.” BGE asked the Maryland Public Service Commission to approve a new gas system infrastructure and a cost recovery mechanism in late 2017 to pay for upgrades.
