“When crews investigated they found there’d been an explosion in one of the apartments, and so we are now investigating the cause of that explosion.”

Gas leak?

There’s been a few notable gas leaks recently - the other day a street in Petone was closed, and I seem to recall there was an evacuation of some sort somewhere a day or so prior to that.

Great, as if having all 3 waters running down the street wasn’t bad enough.

Or P lab. Those are pretty much the two options.

The thought crossed my mind, but who runs a P lab in an apartment in the middle of Wellington?

Yeah, but explosions from gas leaks are equally rare so I guess we just have to see if they publish results of the investigation.
