A massive explosion at a Medley welding business that killed two people and seriously injured two others is now being investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
OSHA officials said they are looking into the incident at Laurie’s General Welding, which has not previously faced inspections.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, crews continued to clean up the mess left behind at the site and electricians were working to restore power lines to nearby businesses.
An explosion went off at the site in the 11300 block of Northwest S. River Drive around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. A nearby Ring camera captured a large fireball rising into the air.

OSHA will have up to six months to complete an investigation and determine whether any citations will be issued.
