Honolulu Fire Department officials say, a worker suffered burn injuries during an industrial accident Saturday.
It happened around noon at Green Recycling LLC on Hanua Street.
Workers were cutting a fuel tank when it exploded. A Honolulu Fire Department official said, one person was injured, but the man’s injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
The explosion sparked a fire, then ignited tires and oil causing a large black plume of smoke.
It took fire crews about an hour to extinguish the fire.
