On Thursday, August 29, 2024, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a severe explosion occurred in the basement of a three-story building at 790 E. 37th St., East Flatbush.
The explosion caused extensive structural damage not only to the affected building but also to the two adjacent structures.
The incident resulted in four injuries, with three individuals suffering serious burns and respiratory issues, and one person sustaining cuts and ulcerations. All injured were transported to Staten Island University Hospital North.
The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and emergency responders found two injured individuals on the street and two others upstairs within the building. Utility lines in the area were shut off as a precautionary measure.
Initial investigations revealed that the explosion had lifted the building off its foundation, causing a partial collapse and displacing it by approximately four inches.
While National Grid checked five nearby gas lines, no issues were detected, suggesting the problem may have been localized to the building.
The cause of the explosion remains undetermined, but the damage has been extensive, with preliminary estimates suggesting significant repair costs and property value loss, potentially exceeding $1 million.
A temporary fence has been erected around the property, and contractors are working to secure and board up the damaged structures.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
Top 6 Advantages of Planck Vision Thermal Cameras:
Industry-Leading Sensitivity: Our cameras easily identify dangerous pre-flame conditions and post-flame hotspots, providing early warnings to prevent extensive damage.
Customizable Options: With a wide selection of sensor resolution and lens optics, we tailor our cameras to suit specific surveillance needs, ensuring optimal performance for every application.
Dual Thermal/Visible Cameras: Combining thermal and visible cameras in one unit enhances situational awareness, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and swift response to potential threats.
Easy Installation and Operation: Our IP cameras are designed for seamless integration into your local network, simplifying installation and operation for enhanced efficiency.
User-Programmed Analytics: With analytics running on Edge, our systems offer the best reliability, empowering users to customize monitoring parameters for precise threat detection.
On-Camera Head Relays: Control is placed where it’s needed most with on-camera head relays, facilitating quick adjustments and interventions in critical situations.
