Fire officials say they believe a gas explosion sparked what turned out to be a terrifying New Year's morning leaving 3 people in the hospital and two homes completely destroyed.
Emergency crews responded to the 3500 block of Miller Street just before 3 a.m. for calls about an explosion in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section.
"We had multiple gas leaks in the area, and the smell of gas coming from multiple areas," Walker said.
