EAGLE, Wis.—Six people were hurt, including three firefighters, in an explosion and fire that rocked a Wisconsin marine construction company Thursday with a blast so thunderous it shook a nearby elementary school.
About 100 firefighters responded after the explosion and fire was reported at Summerset Marine Construction in the small Waukesha County community of Eaglea, at about 7:30 a.m., said Western Lakes Fire District Assistant Chief Matt Haerter.
