Two workers and a firefighter were injured in an accident today at a Crossville, Tenn. auto parts plant that caused a fire and reported explosions.

Flames broke out in the paint storage area of the Delbar Products Incorporated building after witnesses said they heard explosions.

Two workers were treated for smoke inhalation. A firefighter was struck by falling debris and treated at Cumberland County Medical Center.

The company has three facilities in Crossville, where it makes rearview mirrors for vehicle and injection-molded plastics.

Yesterday a worker was seriously injured when a high-pressure boiler burst at an auto parts plant in Paris.
