The fire broke at a paint factory in Columbus, Ohio on Thursday left eight peoples injured and one person missing due to explosions.

At midnight the two-alarm fire started at Majestic Paints on the city’s Near East Side and involved at least one explosion.

In total, seven people were taken to area hospitals. All of them are now considered stable.
“doing everything we can” to find the missing ones said Battalion Chief Steve Martin.

Around 40 employees were believed to be in the building at the time the fire started. Because a portion of the building was damaged in an explosion that started the fire, the search and rescue process is taking longer, Martin said.

According to Martin’s statement, there were further explosions as the fire burned.
