Several people were taken to local hospitals after an explosion at a metal factory near Oakwood, Ohio, according to Captain Brian DiRocco with the Oakwood Village Fire Department
The explosion was at the I. Schumann & Co. building, a metal alloy factory, according to CNN affiliate WOIO, who is at the scene. At least one person was transferred to the hospital in critical condition, and there are several with burn injuries, DiRocco said. All staff have been accounted for, he added. One additional person was treated at the site, DiRocco said. The bulk of the fire was out as of 5 p.m., and crews are working on putting out hot spots, DiRocco said.
Stephenie Davis was at her job in Oakwood Village when she suddenly felt the entire building start to shake. She walked to a window and saw a “huge cloud of black smoke” coming from a building less than 1,000 feet away, Davis told CNN. Davis and her coworkers went outside to see what happened and saw debris on the roof and scattered through the parking lot, she said.
