Two firefighters were hospitalized after a flash fire erupted at Schutz Container Systems in Pasadena, Texas, last week. Via KTRK in Houston, local authorities say a chemical reaction triggered an explosion in the facility, where Schutz cleans out plastic containers used to transport chemicals. The firefighters were taken to a hospital due to concerns that they had inhaled dangerous fumes. The fire was contained to the facility and all 30 employees who were in the building at the time were evacuated.
