Another explosion rocked a mill this week.

Early this morning there was an explosion at the Louisiana Pacific plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Six people were injured. Four of the victims suffered burns.

The company said the explosion and fire occurred just before 2 a.m. in the thermal oil room and was brought under control in just under two hours.

It remains unclear what caused the explosion.

The mill manufactures sheathing used mainly in residential construction.
