PASADENA, Texas — Two firefighters were rushed to the hospital Wednesday night after being exposed to chemicals from an explosion at a plant.
ABC13 reported that about 30 employees had to be evacuated and law enforcement blocked off the street while firefighters battled the blaze. According to Pasadena Fire Marshal David Brannon, the company cleans plastic containers used to transport chemicals.
The firefighters were rushed to the hospital, where they went through a decontamination process and are being monitored. There were concerns they inhaled a dangerous chemical, but fire officials said they are expected to be OK.
The explosion was contained to the building.
