A 5-alarm fire rocked the Oak Cliff southwest of Downtown Dallas Thursday afternoon.
The explosion destroyed an apartment building in Oak Cliff near 9th and Patton.
Over 100 firefighters are on the scene digging through the rubble looking for victims.
The explosion was reported at about 12:45pm with reports of a gas explosion on East 9th Street.
There were witnesses who spoke of people suffering from burns and climbing through windows to escape.
"The fire is contained by members are still working on the scene to do primary searches," Assistant Chief James Rusk said. "We have a drone in the air to canvass the area to see if we have any victims."
Four people were transported to local hospitals after the blast.
This is right next to W. H. Adamson High School and Dallas Police have set up a family assistance center there.
Authorities are asking anyone who lives at that complex to not go to the scene of the fire.
All affected families are being asked to go to Adamson High School nearby.
