2 Injured In Oven Explosion At Commercial Bakery
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - A large commercial bakery halted operations Monday morning after an oven explosion.
The Aurora Fire Department arrived on scene at approximately 4:25 a.m. to the warehouse on Tower Road near Interstate 70.
Two people were injured in the incident, one taken to the hospital and one treated at the scene. One hundred people were inside the building at the time of the explosion.
Certain challenges come with commercial ovens which have both electric and gas line connections.
"Continued gas leak which could be an explosion or fire at this time, we didn't encounter this when we arrived on scene. Electrical could also explosion could be exposed to power lines. Both power and gas have been out here and shut the power down for the building," said Tony Krenz of the Aurora Fire Department.
The business remained closed as of 6:30 a.m., and firefighters are working to determine the cause.
