## Resource

A massive explosion rocked a home on Ash Street in Harpurhey early Tuesday, sending shockwaves through the neighborhood and shattering windows—some residents feared it was a bomb. Emergency crews rushed to the scene, cordoning off streets including Rochdale Road, as gas engineers worked to secure the area. Initially, one man was in critical condition while a woman suffered minor injuries. But new updates bring relief: the man is now out of critical condition, and police confirm no outside involvement—no malicious actors or third parties. Authorities are still working to ensure safety, urging locals to stay away until the cordon is lifted. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
