Firefighters in the Bronx are working to contain a massive gas line rupture Sunday after a blast sent noxious fumes into the air and locals running for cover. The overwhelming stench emitting from Bedford Park Boulevard and Webster Avenue covered the South Bronx on Sept.

Emergency crews evacuated multiple businesses and homes in a Bronx neighborhood because of a ruptured gas main on Sunday morning, a representative for the fire department said. Fumes and the odor of gas covered the area near 379 Bedford Park Boulevard in the Bronx around 9:40 a.

Five people were treated, three hospitalized, after a gas line ruptured Sunday morning in Bedford Park, prompting evacuations and street closures, officials said.
