A gas explosion at a shopping center rocked Harrisonburg, Virginia, on Saturday morning, sparking a large fire. At least three people were injured, authorities say.
The fire sent plumes of smoke billowing into the air that could be seen far from the scene.
City spokesman Mike Parks said two people were transported from the scene in serious condition and one had minor injuries, according to the Daily News-Record.
The Harrisonburg Fire Department was working to determine if anyone else was injured, the city said.
A gas explosion caused the large fire, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said.
It's unclear how or in which building the explosion originated. The city says it’s investigating what caused the fire.
“The incident is contained to this building and there is no cause for concern related to additional structures or incidents,” the city’s post on social media said.
Videos posted to social media show debris strewn across a parking lot as firefighters sprayed water on a burning structure.
The Harrisonburg Police Department said about 9:15 a.m. that roads near S. Main Street were blocked and to expect detours. Northam says that state emergency personnel responded for additional support.
