Last week a series of explosions shocked a Delaware County welding supply company just a few miles south of Philadelphia. The explosions at the Scully Welding Company happened at about 1 p.m. on September 1. The explosions resulted in a 6 alarm fire that was not able to be controlled until about 6 p.m.
Five workers were injured in the explosions. One of the injured was taken to Crozer Chester Medical Center’s burn until in critical condition and was later upgraded to stable condition. Three of the injured were taken to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital and the fifth of the injured workers was taken to Taylor Hospital. Their identities have not yet been released to the media. Four emergency workers also required medical treatment.
The cause of this Philadelphia area workplace accident is still under investigation.
