One of the 13 people taken to local hospitals after an explosion Monday at a metal factory near Oakwood, Ohio, has died, an official says
The explosion was at the I. Schumann & Co. building, a metal alloy factory, DiRocco said. “There was a lot of smoke, a lot of fire, and a lot of injured people,” DiRocco said at a news conference Tuesday, adding that the interior of the building looks “catastrophic” and that the damage is extensive. DiRocco did not have an update on the condition of the others who were taken to hospitals.
The fire department sent one crew to respond to patients and they transported at least one person to the hospital, the department told CNN. With the fire located in the area of Walton Hills and Oakwood, many rural fire departments responded. 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.
