A powerful explosion ripped through a section of The Bronx, New York State, late Wednesday night after a vehicle erupted in flames, injuring multiple firefighters and sending residents scrambling for safety.<\/p>\n
Multiple media reports quoted officials as saying that the blast occurred near 955 Westchester Avenue, where a parked vehicle suddenly exploded at nearly 10.45 pm.<\/p>\n
The explosion triggered a fierce fire that quickly spread, engulfing the vehicle and nearby structures in flames.<\/p>\n
The New York City Fire Department was quoted as saying that at least five firefighters were hospitalised with burn injuries sustained while battling the blaze.<\/p>\n
Crews worked through thick smoke and intense heat to contain the inferno and prevent it from spreading to adjoining buildings.<\/p>\n
Witnesses described scenes of panic and disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole block shook, it felt like a movie scene, except it was real life,” a local resident, who watched as flames shot high into the sky, was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
Emergency personnel cordoned off the area as investigators began probing the cause of the explosion, which remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, authorities urged residents to avoid the vicinity of Westchester Avenue as cleanup and safety assessments continue through the night.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, an explosion at a hydrogen and nitrogen product manufacturer in Mississippi on Wednesday caused an ammonia leak and forced nearby residents to evacuate.<\/p>\n
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves mentioned in a post on X that emergency officials from across the state were responding to the anhydrous ammonia leak at CF Industries\u2019 plant north of Yazoo City.<\/p>\n
No deaths or injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
The Yazoo City facility includes an ammonia plant, four nitric acid plants, along with other plants.<\/p>\n
