A three-story building in New York City has collapsed after what fire officials say was apparently a natural gas explosion.

It is unclear how many people were inside, but at least four people, including one firefighter, are reported injured.

Witnesses heard a loud explosion before the collapse, which happened before the offices were to open at 9:00 a.m. local time Monday. Gas company officials say people nearby had reported smelling natural gas before the blast.

Fire crews continue to spray water on the smoldering rubble, located just a few blocks from Central Park on Manhattan's East Side.
