A maintenance worker was killed and 13 were sent to hospitals with injuries after an explosion and large fire at a metal plant outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
Emergency crews responded to I. Schumann & Co. in Bedford, Ohio, around 2:20 p.m. on Monday. The cause of the explosion is still unclear, but photos shared on social media and in local news reports showed debris scattered for hundreds of yards, damaged vehicles and a plume of smoke visible for miles.
Steven Mullins, 46, died in the explosion and had worked at the company for nearly 30 years, according to a statement from I. Schumann Tuesday.
Mullins was a "good friend to all" and "will be greatly missed," I. Schumann's statement said.
About 60 fire personnel from more than a dozen departments responded to the explosion, and the damage to the interior of the plant is "pretty catastrophic," Oakwood Village Fire Captain Brian DiRocco said at a press conference Tuesday.
The Environmental Protection Agency has been on scene and has not indicated a need to evacuate, DiRocco said.

DiRocco said the building has been in good standing with the fire department during annual fire safety inspections and has complied to correct violations. However, the plant received several violation citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the last decade, according to records viewed by NPR."...
