圣安东尼奥讯 —— 当局表示,周二晚间,圣安东尼奥北部某社区同一条街区的两栋住宅在相隔数小时后相继发生爆炸,造成5人受伤。
美国国家运输安全委员会在社交媒体发布的声明中称,这两起住宅爆炸为“天然气引发”。该委员会表示将派遣工作组于周三赶赴现场,并将调查为何在第二起爆炸发生前未发布疏散通知。
圣安东尼奥消防局长瓦莱丽·弗劳斯托向记者透露,第一起住宅爆炸发生于当地时间下午6点左右,第二起则在约两小时后的晚上8点左右。她表示,爆炸发生时两栋住宅内均有人。
“第二次爆炸和第一次非常相似,”弗劳斯托在谈及距离第一次爆炸点仅两户之遥的第二起爆炸时说道,“屋顶被掀翻,石膏板和隔热材料散落到了街对面。”
弗劳斯托称,两起爆炸共有5人受伤,其中包括一名儿童,均被送往当地医院治疗,伤势为烧伤。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,第一起爆炸中有一家三口受伤——分别是当地一名牧师、一名高中教师以及他们的十几岁女儿,三人在周三时情况稳定。第二起爆炸中的伤者状况目前尚不明确。
邻居们向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,第一次爆炸后他们没有闻到燃气味,也没有迹象表明仍存在危险。他们甚至说,当时自己正站在街上和消防员交谈,第二栋爆炸住宅的居民也在场。
但据邻居约翰·杨透露,那栋第二栋爆炸住宅的居民在爆炸发生前回到了屋内。
“那些人当时和我们一起在外面围观事态发展,然后他们回到了屋里……接着他们的房子就着火了,”杨说道,“我的意思是,火势瞬间就起来了。”
当被问及消防员对第一起爆炸的响应是否存在失误时,弗劳斯托回应道:“我们目前还不清楚这类事件的发生原因。当出现燃气泄漏时,很难察觉,尤其是在这种情况下,有时甚至没有异味。这只是一起突发状况,我们必须妥善处理。”
弗劳斯托指出,该区域的燃气和电力现已被切断,周边多栋住宅已被疏散。
“在确保安全之前,我们不会允许任何人返回家中。”这位消防局长说道。
该区域的天然气供应商CPS能源在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示,目前仍在调查事故原因。

Two home explosions on same San Antonio block injure 5
April 22, 2026 7:25 PM EDT / CBS News
San Antonio — Five people were injured when explosions occurred several hours apart at two homes on the same block of a north San Antonio neighborhood Tuesday night, authorities said.
The National Transportation Safety Board described the home explosions as “natural gas‑fueled” in a statement posted to social media. The NTSB, which said it was sending a team to the scene Wednesday, will investigate why no evacuations were issued prior to the second explosion.
San Antonio Fire Chief Valerie Frausto told reporters the first home explosion occurred at about 6 p.m. local time, and the second about two hours later, around 8 p.m. People were inside both homes at the times of the blasts, she said.
“It was very similar to the first, you know,” Frausto said of the second explosion, which occurred two doors down from the first. “The roof blew, there was sheet rock and insulation across the street.”
Frausto said five people, including a child, were rushed to area hospitals with burn injuries from both blasts.
CBS News learned that a family of three — a local pastor, high school teacher and their teen daughter — were injured in the first explosion and were in stable condition Wednesday. The conditions of those hurt in the second explosion were unclear.
Neighbors told CBS News they didn’t smell gas after the first blast, and there was no sign that they might still be in danger. They even said they were out in the street talking with firefighters, along with the residents of the second home that exploded.
But according to neighbor John Young, the residents of that second home returned to it before it exploded.
“Those people had been outside with us, watching what was going on, and they went back inside the house and…then their house went up,” Young said. “I mean, it went in flames.”
Frausto, asked if firefighters had made a mistake in their response to the first blast, responded, “We don’t know when these things happen, when there’s a gas leak, very hard to detect, and especially under these conditions, there’s sometimes no odor. It’s just something that happened, and we have to deal with it.”
Gas and power have since been shut off to the area, and several surrounding homes evacuated, Frausto noted.
“We can’t allow anybody back to their homes until it’s safe,” the fire chief said.
CPS Energy, the natural gas provider for the area, told CBS News in a statement that it is still investigating the cause.
