Underground explosions

The fire department says issues with underground electrical vaults are suspected after small explosions were heard in downtown Columbus. No injuries were reported after the explosions about 1 p.m. Sunday across the street from the Ohio Statehouse. Bits of blackened material were visible near a sidewalk grate afterward. Fire department spokeswoman Battalion Chief Tracy Smith says the scene was turned over to the city’s public-utilities division.
