AN explosion at a MARIJUANA plant has injured five people, including one who police say sustained life-threatening burns.
First responders rushed to the Ilera Healthcare facility in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, just before noon on Wednesday following reports of a blast.
Fire officials told WTAJ that a generator sparked the blast on the right side of the building.
The explosion was only contained to the incinerator room and did not spread to the rest of the plant; however, five people suffered injuries.
One person was transported to a local hospital with potential life-threatening burns on over 30 percent of their body.
A second victim sustained burns, authorities told WGAL. The extent of their burn was unknown.
The other three victims’ conditions remain unknown.
The facility has at least 300 workers, according to the outlet.
Ilera Healthcare’s mission is to “improve the quality of life for the patients we serve by providing unique medical marijuana solutions,” their website says.
The company has dispensaries stationed all over Pennsylvania, including Plymouth Meeting, Lancaster, Thorndale, Allentown, Stroudsburg and Bethlehem.
