The incident happened just before five this morning, according to Fort Worth Fire Department’s Mike Drivdahl. He says that there was painting going on inside the apartment at the time and that paint fumes cause the blast.
“It was not related to natural gas. The apartment complex does not have gas in that building. We’re confident is saying that it is the paint fumes that ignited.”
