WASHINGTON (NewsNation Now) — A manhole exploded near an apartment building with a carbon monoxide leak near Logan Circle Wednesday night, shaking surrounding homes and causing residents to wonder what happened.
DC Fire and EMS were already near the scene in the 1300 block of Vermont Ave NW responding to a carbon monoxide leak at an apartment building when they noticed the manhole was smoking.
The manhole later exploded. No one was injured in the blast; only a vehicle was damaged.
Author Candace Owens says the explosion shook her home.
“Just heard a massive explosion in D.C. Our entire home just shook. Anyone know what that was?” she tweeted.
DC Fire told NewsNation the power company is working to isolate the problem.
