One was treated at the hospital for heat exhaustion, and the other for a shoulder injury. Chopper 2 was overhead as more than 100 firefighters worked to put out the flames.
Piscataway Mayor Brian Wahler said he raced to the plant after hearing explosions not far from his home. The loud noise had neighbors pulling out their cellphones to capture the raging fire that exploded around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. "Initially, when the fire came in, it was under the exterior portion, and then led inside the building, on the outside roof, and now it's up under the roof, and that's what they're attempting to pour additional water," Wahler said. "On Tuesday evening, a fire started outside of the Pepsi plant and warehouse in Piscataway, NJ. Details of how the fire started will be investigated. First responders are on-site working to ensure the fire is controlled and quickly put out.
