The disaster happened at RM Palmer. The company says on its website that it has been making candy since 1948 and specializes in seasonal chocolates for Easter, Halloween and Valentine’s Day. About 850 people work there.

According to police, ‘Building 2’ of the factory collapsed in the blast. Adjacent ‘Building 1’ was damaged. The cause of the explosion is still unclear, but a gas leak is likely.

West Reading is about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
