There was an explosion at a foodfactory today in Bonehill Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire. It happened just before midday. Twenty-eight people got hurt. It happened in a freezer at the Brakes depot. A man had burn injuries of 15 percent and he was taken to the hospital. The conditions of the other people are still unknown. There were twenty-eight fire fighters to fight the explosion . The blast happened during a routine maintenance in the centre’s refrigeration plant. A chemical leak occurred and a small amount of ammonia got out. The engineer who was maintaining the refrigerator got hurt. He was driven immediately to the hospital. Other employees received minor medical attention and a couple were taken to the hospital. The center was immediately evacuated. The emergency services are assuring the people that there are no cause for concern regarding the ammonia.

It is an awful thing that happened at the plant. This is still a plant which is operated by people and people still make mistakes. This isn’t a accident which you can totally blame on one person. It happened. I think the emergency people in Staffordshire did a very good job. They helped the people as fast as possible and the people who needed it where send to the hospital. Also the firefighters did a great job, not only fighting the explosion but also evacuating the center as fast and safely as possible. I hope everyone survives.
