According to Tower Health spokeswoman Jessica Bezler, eight people were taken to Reading Hospital with injuries on Friday evening. Two individuals were admitted and are currently in fair condition, while five others were treated and released. She added that one victim was transported to another facility. Limited details are available on that person's condition.
According to FOX 29 Philadelphia, firefighters were called to the factory following reports of an explosion and a multi-alarm fire. The incident caused significant destruction, leveling Building 2 and damaging Building 1. The outlet's weather camera captured the massive explosion, which sent large debris flying into the air and created a thick, billowing smoke cloud.
"The candy factory is known for its seasonal novelties, like chocolate Easter bunnies, and is one of America's largest and most innovative confectioners," Fox News added.
