At least 14 people were hurt in an explosion Monday at a metals factory in Bedford, Ohio, according to Reuters.
The injuries from the explosion at the I. Schumann & Company metal alloy plant consisted mostly of burns, Oakwood Fire Department Captain Brian DiRocco said. One person was treated on-site, and the other 13 were taken to local hospitals. At least one was critically injured.

The factory produced bronze, copper, and brass alloys.
No cause of the explosion has been released, but a fire that broke out at 3 p.m. has been contained, officials said. “Some windows at our neighboring building in front of us were blown out, cars were damaged, and debris was on the ground on fire,” Stephenie Davis, who was at work in a neighboring building, told CNN. “Everyone was in shock and looking at their cars and the building where the smoke was exiting. We heard another smaller boom, and everyone started to either get in their cars to leave or go back into their work building for safety.
