Roberts Oxygen, a distributor of compressed gases, cryogenic liquids, welding supplies, and safety equipment, was the location where the incident occurred. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries in this incident.
The MCFRS spokesperson praised the quick response and containment of the fire, which prevented any further damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The company has not yet released a statement regarding the incident.
