More than 200 firefighters and emergency medical personnel from 68 units responded to the explosion on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Crews were fighting the fire when an explosion happened 50 minutes later. The fire is still burning and the cause of the explosion is under investigation. <\/p>\n

One bystander, Richard Oviogor, who was in the area, told WABC-TV he heard two explosions that seemed like a “big shock wave.”<\/p>\n

Several businesses, including a coffee roasting company and a self-storage facility, are located in the area around the shipyard. <\/p>\n
