People injured in house explosion in Ashton
Up to 10 people are being treated after they were injured in an explosion at a house in Ashton Under Lyne this morning.
Emergency services were called to Curzon Street just after 5 am after reports of an explosion in a terraced house.
They found a number of people lying injured on the floor. Firefighters and paramedics gave first aid before the casualties were taken to hospital.
As crews tackled the blaze gas and electricity supplies to neighbouring properties were turned off and surrounding roads closed.
Up to 30 firefighters have been at the scene as investigations get underway to establish the cause of the explosion.
When crews arrived there were a number of people injured on the floor and it was obvious there had been an explosion in the house. We helped them but they were later treated by paramedics from North West Ambulance Service while we tackled the fire using covering jets. We haven’t been able to go inside the house as both the front back walls have completely collapsed.
