Update: According to a Facebook post from OFD, “At 8:57 p.m. July 30 OFD units were dispatched to reports of an explosion in the 2300 block of Carter Road. Units arrived to find a single-story apartment building with four units and a laundry on fire with flames shooting through the roof down the length of the building. Thanks to the help of a passerby several residents were evacuating before first responders even arrived. An aggressive fire attack along with primary search then took place. At least four residents were transported by EMS for various injuries. Cause is under investigation.”
