VIDEO: Emergency crews responded to an explosion at a milk plant in Strasburg, Virginia, early Friday morning.
The explosion happened just before 4 a.m. at the Valley Milk Products plant located at the corner of King Street and Acton Street on the outskirts of Strasburg, Virginia Department of Transportation Management Coordinator Jeff Boyer said.
The plant is functional, but was not operating at the time of the explosion, according to Boyer. No workers were inside at the time, and no injuries were reported.
The plant is owned by Maryland & Virginia Milk Products Cooperative Association (MDVA). MDVA's CEO, Jay Bryant, released a statement Friday.
"We are thankful for the swift action of local emergency responders and city building officials to ensure our employees are kept safe and minimize impact to the Strasburg community," Bryant said.
