At least one person was unaccounted for and eight others were injured early Thursday following an explosion and massive two-alarm fire at a paint factory in Columbus, Ohio, according to reports.
The fire prompted area evacuations and sent firefighters scrambling to get the blaze under control, officials said.
Those injured included five people who were taken to hospitals after escaping the building on their own, the Columbus Division of Fire said in a statement.
However, two people were trapped inside the building and had to be rescued. They were in critical condition, officials said.
“Search and rescue efforts are continuing, as are extinguishment efforts at this time,” the statement added.
