Overview
- Fire crews brought the blaze under control on Friday, and a brief rekindle overnight was quickly extinguished early Saturday.
- Four people were hurt, including two with severe burn injuries who were flown by rescue helicopters to hospitals; no further condition updates were provided.
- Officials said the explosion occurred during cleaning or repair work on a liquefied-gas transporter that carried no cargo and contained only a protective gas.
- The workshop was heavily damaged and may be beyond repair, with nearby vehicles wrecked and a hall gate blown about 15 meters by the pressure wave.
- Authorities issued public warnings as thick smoke drifted across nearby areas and over the A42 motorway, and police and fire investigators have opened a formal inquiry.
