York, N. Y.  , — Three young children were in” thoroughly secure” state at the hospital after a house collapsed onto them Tuesday evening on Syracuse’s North Side, authorities said.
Twelve people were hospitalized after the collapse at , 205 Carbon St., authorities said. All were in steady condition, except for the three youngest victims: an 8- month- older, 2- year- aged and 3- year- older, District Chief , Matthew Craner, a fire department spokesperson, said Wednesday morning.
A community of seven individuals rented the home, Mayor , Ben Walsh , said. A family of six persons, even from , Syracuse, was visiting at the time of the decline, he said. All were found to be safe.
National Grid , was working to determine whether natural oil played any part in the decline, Craner said. According to company spokesperson and bsp, Jared Paventi, heavy equipment is being brought in to check the pressure on the gas line that runs from the street to the home’s meter and make sure it is n’t damaged. Before city researchers may return to the home to continue their work, those safety assessments must be completed.
According to Craner, according to Craner, authorities believe there was an explosion at the house based on the extent of the injury. They are pursuing an investigation into the cause of the explosion, he said.
They also think the car found beneath the dust was “in the wrong place at the wrong moment,” Craner said, not because it crashed into the home or caused the collapse. A child was rescued from the vehicle by firefighters.
Many people called 911 immediately after , 4 p. m. Tuesday  , to review what sounded like an explosion. Two relatives told , Syracuse .com , | The Post- Common that their houses shook.
When rescuers arrived, they discovered downed power lines and a strong smell of natural fuel, according to authorities earlier reported.
Before especially trained crews went in to search for any remaining citizens who were trapped, firefighters worked to stabilize the remaining construction. They searched for 45 days, but they discovered no another.
The New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control , in , Albany , sent a staff of seek pups to comb through the dust, rescuers said. The condition police brought in a corpse dog.
Walsh said he was “relieved” to notice that most of the patients were in stable condition, but cautioned that,” we’re not out of the trees still”.
Walsh praised the work of first responders and neighbors who came together to assist the victims of the decline.
The two- home, one- bath house was constructed in 1920, according to county data. It is owned by , Minh C. Tran, of , Liverpool, documents show.
As of Tuesday evening, the home had no active code violations, according to city data.
Walsh claimed that after all investigations are finished, the city intends to obliterate what remains of the home.
