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 facility has at least 300 workers, according to the outlet.
