Three die as house explodes in Springfield Township
An early morning gas odor investigation triggered a powerful explosion that leveled a house in Springfield Township north of Philadelphia. Three occupants were killed and four injured as flames drew 40 firefighters. Doctor Teofila Gamo, 62, and relatives were among the residents present. A Philadelphia Electric Co crew had repaired a gas leak Sunday and was called back Monday morning.
