The blast damaged the entire apartment building along with surrounding buildings in the town of Dunwoody.<\/p>\n<p>Over 70 firefighters responded to the explosion, which destroyed an estimated 40 to 50 units within the complex. Four people were injured and two were missing, with many worried they were buried in the rubble until they were found and brought to safety.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">At 1:24pm, we received calls regarding an explosion at the Arrive Apartments. We are on scene with the Dekalb Co. and Sandy Springs Fire Dept. This is a very active scene and the cause of the explosion is under investigation. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DCFRpubaffairs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DCFRpubaffairs<\/a> will put out more when known.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dunwoody Police (@DunwoodyPolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DunwoodyPolice\/status\/1437112820575973382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After the explosion, people had their utilities cut and hundreds were displaced until the surrounding buildings could be inspected. One resident and witness described the explosion and its aftermath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a really big shake and some things like fell,\u201d the resident explained. \u201c\u2026It was scary once we saw the front of the building. We did see a woman with a baby who was hurt. The baby was fine, but her legs were hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the explosion has remained unknown, although many have speculated it could be the gas lines. In December, the very same complex was rocked by a blast caused by a damaged gas line in the building.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to our volunteers who worked through the day to provide support to the families impacted by an explosion that occurred at the Arrive Perimeter Apartments in Dunwoody on Sunday. The explosion destroyed or damaged some 40-50 units &amp; led to an evacuation of all residents. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wFSkBupb66\">pic.twitter.com\/wFSkBupb66<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Red Cross of Georgia #GivewithMeaning (@GARedCross) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GARedCross\/status\/1437414274331291654?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another resident in the building during this recent explosion reported to have smelled heavy gas before he went to church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 10:30 this morning, I smelled gas in the hallway and it was pretty, it was thick,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe called the complex like hey there\u2019s some gas going on here. It\u2019s an issue, obviously, it\u2019s pretty heavy and he told us it was fixed and the door was open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross has been on hand to help those displaced by the blast get food, water and emotional support.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-no-choice-but-to-run-again\/\">President Trump: No Choice But To Run Again<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emergency workers respond following an apartment explosion, Sunday, Sept. 12, 2021, in Dunwoody, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.
