They found 1 person alive this morning! All our fire and ambulances save Reading City, are volunteers so miscommunication is unfortunately pretty common.

I live in the next town over. It's horrendous. They're currently up to 5 dead and 6 unaccounted for. It's speculated that it was a gas leak, reports of an odor of gas shortly before the explosion and the fact that fire was seen coming from the ground post explosion support that. It took forever for UGI to cut the gas to the area. Several people survived, some without injury. It's heartbreaking reading the posts of people looking for their loved ones that are still unaccounted for. I hope UGI is sued into oblivion. They've raised our rates twice in the past year and charged customers a surcharge since we all used less gas this past winter. Meanwhile their infrastructure is falling apart. There have been multiple calls to our various local fire departments the past weeks regarding gas leaks. My former neighbor worked there and I'm very concerned about him, he's a great guys.
