POCA, W.Va.—Emergency officials say crews are responding to reports of explosions and a fire at an industrial site in West Virginia.
Nitro firefighter Jeff Dorsey says crews were dispatched Monday afternoon to Airgas in Poca just outside Charleston. The company is a distributor of specialty gases used in industry and elsewhere.
Dorsey did not know if there were any injuries.
A telephone call to the company resulted in a busy signal. A woman who answered the phone at the company's regional headquarters said officials were in a meeting and could not immediately comment.

Very scary, I work in gas plants everyday. Have a big job tomorrow inside of a gas plant. I hate these damn things. One spark and BOOM

Or the families of the two workers that sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns.

Failure with acetylene

Big Derrty had a similar problem a few years back with 'sparks flying' at a canister gas facility smack dab in south city.

It was like lighting a bunch of bottle rockets into the air to land willy-nilly, except these were full sized steel canisters. with oxygen, NOS and acetylene, flying out into neighborhoods surrounding them.
