Firefighting crews were called out, before 6 a.m. Saturday April 27, 2013, to a 3-alarm warehouse fire in North Philadelphia at the 1800 block of West Sedgley Avenue just before 6:00 a.m.
The massive blaze was reported under control just after 10: a.m. Saturday.
It was reported several small explosions from propane tanks and called in hazardous materials crews to investigate.
No injuries have been reported.
Philadelphia Fire commissioner Lloyd Ayers says it’s fortunate no one was hurt. “We had numerous explosions. You can see where a wall has been blown out by those explosions.” Fire commissioner Ayers says propane tanks exploded but again no fire fighters or residents were injured.
Officials say propane tanks caused several small explosions and hazmat crews have been called in to investigate. No immediate information as to a cause or what might have started the blaze from authorities.
