RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. - An explosion in a plastic manufacturing plant in Orange County has killed two people and injured a third person, authorities said Friday. The force of the blast on Thursday night blew a concrete wall in the Solus Industrial Innovations building and shook a fire station across the street, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Greg McKeown said. Firefighters rushed inside and found two bodies. A third victim was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the captain said. Three workers who were outside the building declined treatment, he said. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. A company representative could not immediately be reached. A telephone recording at Solus said all circuits were busy.
