Authorities say all known residents have been contacted and accounted for as investigators and search crews resume operations fire at a Silver Spring apartment complex the morning after an explosion and fire left over a dozen injured.
Montgomery County Fire Chief Scott Goldstein said crews are still working to confirm that there were no visitors in the buildings at the time of the explosion. Goldstein said 14 people suffered injuries in the blast -- three with serious injuries and 11 with minor injuries. Goldstein said one of the injured left the scene and went to work before calling 911.
