No fatalities were reported and at least 11 people have been hospitalized following an explosion at a factory in Louisville’s Clifton neighborhood.
The incident was reported at the Givaudan Sense Colour manufacturing plant in the 1900 block of Payne Street around 3 p.m. Tuesday. The plant is known for producing caramel color in soft drinks.
Everyone employed at the facility had been accounted for, including two people who had to be rescued from the building by the Louisville Fire Department.
Chief Ryan O’Neal credited the quick action of plant personnel for getting people to safety.
“They worked with us greatly to get those people out,” he said. “They were very helpful to make sure that we could try to identify the different solvents and chemicals they use at this business.”
