The Los Angeles Fire Department was alerted at 5:38 p.m. Saturday to the blast in the 7300 block of Woodman Avenue, according to Connor Thompson, an LAFD spokesman.

Authorities were investigating the cause of an explosion that damaged a Van Nuys apartment building Saturday night. The Los Angeles Fire Department was alerted at 5:38 p.m. to the blast in the 7300 block of Woodman Avenue, according to Connor Thompson, an LAFD spokesman. The damage was confined to a single apartment unit whose occupants — two adults and one child — were not home when the explosion occurred, Thompson said.

The wall of the apartment is gone. It's like something you'd see in a Marvel movie.' Vance filmed a video of the building showing shattered glass and blown-out window screens strewn across the sidewalk. He said he believed it was a gas explosion. 'You can smell the gas a mile away,' he said.
