A series of blasts in Florida has injured seven people, reports say. The explosions at Blue Rhino Propane Factory prompted massive fires in the Tavares area, near Orlando.

The aftermath of the explosion has been captured on camera. A rep for the fire department details that the blaze took gigantic proportions and they had to let it burn out on its own before intervening.

The blast took place Monday night in the plant that contained roughly 53,000 20-gallon propane tanks.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, some of the containers did not blow up, and firefighters using foam were able to control the blaze.

The people who were injured all worked at the plant, and an investigation is set to determine the cause of the explosion. The area was evacuated and residents were able to come back to their homes by 2:40 a.m.
