DALLAS — Dallas Fire-Rescue said an explosion caused a massive apartment fire in Oak Cliff. DFR confirmed that three people have died and crews have moved from rescue to recovery mode.

Crews were responding to a reported gas leak around 12:47 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, at a two-story apartment complex called The Clyde, located at the intersection of Patton Avenue and East 9th Street, Dallas Fire-Rescue said. While en route, the explosion occurred, according to DFR.

During a Thursday 8:30 p.m. press conference, Dallas Fire-Rescue  Public Information Officer Jason Evans said three people, including a child, were killed. Two adult females and one child were found in the debris.

At least three people were taken to the hospital by paramedics, and one of them is in critical but stable condition, officials said. Two of them are expected to be released tonight, Evans said. Two other victims took themselves to the hospital and have since been released.

There could be more victims, depending on the number of people home at the time, officials said. Some individuals have been accounted for, but the total remains unclear.
