Nashville, TN (US) – June 10 (AP) – Early Tuesday, a fire ignited in the parking structure of Nashville's main public library, accompanied by several explosions. Eli Gilmore, a local musician residing in the adjacent apartment complex, reported hearing the first of the loud blasts around 1:15 a.m. local time.
“We were seated and suddenly noticed black smoke billowing from the garage,” Gilmore recounted. “Then, cars began exploding consecutively. We witnessed a floor crack and collapse, with sparks shooting across the street.”
During a FaceTime call with The Associated Press, Gilmore displayed live footage of smoke pouring from the structure as emergency vehicles encircled the scene. He estimated the presence of at least fifty firefighters actively tackling the situation.
The city's fire department has yet to provide an immediate response. (AP)
