Brent Industries Explosion Kills Two | Chattanooga News

Two workers dead, others injured after massive explosions at Brent Industries in Toledo, Ohio—flames tore through the facility just before 5 AM during a shift change, sending shockwaves half a mile away and leaving most of the roof gone. Emergency crews battled hazardous materials and potential secondary blasts while searching for victims. OSHA has launched an investigation, with findings due in six months. This isn’t the first disaster: a similar explosion at their Alabama plant in 2015 killed one worker and led to OSHA citations over flammable vapor risks. The company uses mineral spirits in its recycling processes, and nearby residents were warned to stay indoors if smoke or fumes were detected.
