Episode Details

Sunday afternoon in Tacoma turned chaotic when a sudden explosion ripped through an apartment complex’s electrical room—right as firefighters were investigating smoke. No injuries, but eight buildings were evacuated as a precaution. The blast, triggered after power was cut by crews, was caused by a malfunctioning transformer that sent smoke billowing into multiple units. Residents were temporarily relocated to a local middle school, with the Red Cross aiding those displaced from one building. Power has since been restored to most homes, except one still under investigation. Tacoma Public Utilities and fire officials are working together to determine the exact cause of the explosion.
