Investigation Underway

The Jamaica Fire Brigade got to the scene quick, stopping the fire from jumping to nearby businesses. The injured workers were rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital, and right now, they're in stable condition.

From what they're seeing so far, it looks like a busted acetylene tank might have caused the blast. But fire marshals are still combing through the place to figure out exactly what went down.
