"Sounded how it looked, a mini explosion, wasn't too bad, but you can tell it was out of the norm," Melvin, a nearby neighbor said.

Officials said Thursday that the explosion originated in an HVAC closet inside an apartment.

Several people have been displaced from the apartment where the explosion occurred.

No injuries were reported.
