UPDATE: Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert and other city officials gave a briefing on the clean-up efforts and investigation into an explosion and fire in the Old Market on Saturday.

"The fact that there were no fatalities is nothing short of a miracle," said Omaha Fire Chief Bernie Kanger.

The fire followed reports of an explosion at M's Pub around 3 p.m. on Saturday. Firefighters have been at the scene since, which has covered the building and surrounding areas in ice.
