Thursday, December 11, 2025 9:00PMAt least six people were taken to the hospital Thursday morning after a massive explosion caused a large fire in Hayward, California, fire officials say. The Alameda County Fire Department says crews responded to the three-alarm fire.
Eight engines and two trucks were on scene. It happened around 9:30 a.m., just hours after a construction crew damaged a gas line. At least six people were transported to the hospital Thursday morning after a massive explosion and a large fire in Hayward, fire officials say. Dramatic video shows the shocking moments. Fire officials believe two of the six people injured were workers in the street. The conditions of all the people taken to the hospital are unknown. Dramatic footage captured by a home's Ring doorbell camera shows a massive explosion rocking a large building across the street."We were sitting in the house and it just ... everything shook. Stuff fell off the walls. And when we looked at the camera, it was like you were watching a war video," said Brittany Maldonado, who provided the doorbell cam footage. Two homes were impacted by the explosion and fire, and a workshop in the back of one of them. Another home has some damage on the side facing the explosion. The neighborhood is a mixed housing and business area. Pacific Gas and Electric Company says they were notified that a third-party construction crew damaged an underground gas line around 7:30 a.m. while digging. The street has been the area of a construction project that's been going on for about a year to widen sidewalks and bike lanes. PG&E crews responded and worked to stop the flow of gas, which was released at multiple locations, by 9:25 a.m. They say the explosion happened just 10 minutes later at 9:35 a.m.
