Blast and Fire at Aero Supply Plant Injures Three
Two workers were burned and one seriously hurt in an explosion and fire at the Aero Supply Manufacturing Company on West Main Street yesterday afternoon. Norman Ferguson, 39, of 421 Fifth Avenue, is in Corry hospital with serious burns to the chest arms and face. James Blakeslee of East Main Street suffered less serious burns and is recovering at home. The cause appears linked to gasoline used in the testing room above the boiler room. The plant’s sprinkling system helped prevent greater damage valued at about $1,500. The incident is being investigated.
