Four people were injured with burns to their face and arms following an explosion at a Newport Beach apartment complex, according to a news report.
The Newport Beach Fire Department said that when firefighters arrived on the scene, they smelled gas and found smoke and flames coming from the first level of the apartment complex located on Baywood Drive in Newport Beach. A preliminary investigation revealed the explosion might have originated in an outdoor shed that contained a water heater.
Fire officials said that three people were seriously injured with burns to their face and arms, and were taken to local hospitals. A fourth person suffered moderate injuries and went to a local hospital for treatment on their own.
