Officials with the Creston Fire Department said Friday, there were no fatalities following an explosion that resulted in a fire at an apartment building. KCCI reports firefighters were called to 122 Manor Dr. at about 9 a.m. Friday. Authorities confirmed three people were injured during the incident. Two of the injured were taken by air to a local hospital. An early theory Creston Fire officials have presented, is that a person living in the apartment was on oxygen and smoking at the time.

Firefighters told KCCI they helped residents evacuate through exits and windows.
