Four people were injured, two seriously, by an explosion and fire at a commercial building Monday in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler, authorities said. MORE ⬇️
Chandler Fire Department officials said they were called around 2 p.m. after a small explosion at a company that manufactures and sells vitamins and supplements.
They said part of the roof on the 25,000-square-foot building collapsed, and paramedics treated four people at the scene. One suffered minor injuries, and the other three were taken to a hospital. Chandler Fire Department Battalion Chief Carlos Vargas said two of them had serious injuries.“This is the first time anything like this has happened here,” said Leonard Pasqualone.“The explosion was that loud, and that violent, that we actually thought that it was in our facility when we heard it,” he told ABC15.
Fire crews from the surrounding cities of Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Guadalupe responded to the scene to help extinguish the blaze. Video from TV station helicopters showed firefighters spraying water into a gaping hole on one side of the building's roof.
