Explosion at steel plant injures at least 2 workers

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Four explosions and a fire at the Rouge Steel plant on Friday injured at least two workers, authorities said.

Police Lt. Richard Zimmerman said the workers were able to walk away after the explosions in a blast furnace. He had no other details.

The 1,100-acre Rouge complex comprises six Ford Motor Co. plants and Rouge Steel. A Ford spokesman said the fire was confined to the steel plant.

Rouge Steel vice president Bill Hornberger did not immediately return a telephone message.
