Two workers were killed and several others injured after two explosions tore through an industrial recycling facility in Toledo, Ohio<\/a>, early Tuesday, sparking a massive fire and sending thick, black smoke billowing over the area, officials said.<\/p>\n

The blasts erupted<\/a> shortly before 5 a.m. at Brent Industries during a shift change, Toledo Fire Chief Allison Armstrong said, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Firefighters later found the bodies of a male and female employee inside the heavily damaged building. Two or three other workers suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Video from the scene showed flames engulfing portions of the facility as fire crews<\/a> surrounded the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aerial images showed extensive destruction, with nearly all of the roof gone and several walls blown out, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Armstrong said crews initially faced hazardous materials, runoff and the threat of additional explosions as they searched for victims and accounted for employees.<\/p>\n

Environmental officials said air monitoring detected no hazardous threat.<\/p>\n

Demetrius Langston, who was about half a mile away, said he felt the force of the blasts.<\/p>\n

“The shock waves came down the block,” he said. “Then we all heard it again. Boom! You could feel it.”<\/p>\n

The fire continued burning into Tuesday afternoon, and officials said there were no preliminary indications of what caused the explosions.<\/p>\n

Authorities urged residents who could see or smell smoke to stay away from the area and keep their windows and doors closed.<\/p>\n

Brent Industries, based in Alabama<\/a>, provides textile reconditioning and industrial recycling services and uses mineral spirits in its cleaning process, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Fire officials said tanks containing the petroleum-based solvent were at the Toledo facility, though their role in Tuesday\u2019s explosions<\/a> remains unknown.<\/p>\n

The company has a history of deadly accidents and safety violations, The Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

A 2015 explosion at its Alabama plant killed one worker after mineral spirit vapors ignited inside a washing machine. OSHA later cited the company for six violations and fined it $27,000.<\/p>\n

Brent Industries could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.<\/p>\n
