Fire is reportedly now under control.


From the article:

Flying over the scene, FOX 8 SkyFOX helicopter showed a fire and a large plume of smoke coming from the building, but firefighters now have it under control. From the ground, debris can be seen scattered hundreds of yards away and a large chunk of the building is missing. Some of the nearby cars were caught on fire as well.

Authorities said there were multiple burn victims taken from inside the plant to a nearby hospital. One person was taken by LifeFlight helicopter and flown to a hospital for treatment. More than a dozen were injured in the explosion. One person, 46-year-old Steven Mullins of North Ridgeville, has died, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office.

Oakwood Fire Department officials said the cause of the explosion is under investigation but called the facility a "relatively safe plant."

"It's a foundry, so you're dealing with molten hot metal—so there's always an inherent danger," said Oakwood Fire Captain Brian Dirocco.
