At least ten people were transported to a southern New Hampshire hospital after a "major explosion" at a ball bearing manufacturer on Monday, according to state and local officials who set up an emergency command center near the site.
The fire department in nearby Jaffrey, New Hampshire, said on its Twitter feed that it had been called to respond to a "major explosion" at the New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc location in Peterborough, located about 75 miles (120 km) northwest of Boston.
Ten people were brought to Monadnock Community Hospital, with two others sent on to other facilities, Laura Gingras, a hospital spokeswoman, told reporters.
"We have received a number of patients here at Monadnock Community Hospital," Gingras said. "We are treating some patients here and are transferring some out."
