New Hampshire (U.S. State): At least 15 people were injured due to the explosion rocked a small-town ball bearing plants on Monday.
Hazardous-materials teams responded after Monday afternoon’s explosion at the New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc. plant in Peterborough, but firefighters said there didn’t appear to be any environmental damage.
According to the Paul Clark (machine operator), he was in the parking lot on Monday afternoon when he heard the blast.
Paul Clark said, I was in my car backing out when I felt a rumble and heard a bang and snow on the building’s roof was flying into the wind.
He also said that, the blast blew out windows on the three-story building’s ground floor, Peterborough Fire Department spokesman Eric Bowman said. There was heavy explosion damage, and the first arriving firefighters saw a column of smoke.
According to the Bowman, the cause of the explosion was under investigation, but all indications were that it was an industrial-related incident.
According to the Kathy Gerrity (spokeswoman of the company), First responders will try to determine the extent of the damage to the facility. It was unknown when the facility will be back in operation because it would need to be inspected and deemed safe first.
Spokeswoman Laura Gingras said, Local hospitals were asked to prepare for patients who may have been exposed to hazardous materials. Two of the 15 people who were treated at Monadnock Community Hospital later were flown to other hospitals.
