At least 12 people were hurt after what firefighters believe was a gas-fed fire and explosion in Gaithersburg. Two of those people are hospitalized in critical condition. Montgomery County fire crews described the explosion as catastrophic, and the building partially collapsed. A preliminary investigation is still underway to figure out exactly what happened.

It is not the first time a Montgomery County building has exploded due to gas. Just eight months ago, a massive fire broke out at the Friendly Garden Apartments in Silver Spring, the result of an explosion. Fourteen people were hurt.
