An apparent gas explosion collapsed part of a nursing home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, leaving two women dead and 20 people injured.

Rescuers braved shooting flames, falling debris and the threat of more explosions to save nursing home residents after a blast at a Pennsylvania facility killed a resident and employee, and set off a dramatic and chaotic evacuation.

An explosion and fire at a Pennsylvania nursing home killed one resident and one employee and wounded 20 others, officials said.

At least six people were taken to the hospital Thursday morning after a massive explosion caused a large fire in Hayward, California, fire officials say.
