Fears for workers as blasts blow plant roof off

Fears are growing for 10 workers missing at a Florida gas plant after a series of explosions.

Several workers have been injured while 15 others are missing after a series of large explosions at a Florida gas plant.

Twenty-four people were working the night shift at Blue Rhino, a propane-tank business in Tavares, when the blasts began about 11pm local time on Monday (1pm AEST on Tuesday).

Fifteen people were unaccounted for early on Tuesday, the Orlando Sentinel reported, citing Tavares city administrator John Drury.

The first explosions lasted for more than half an hour, the paper said, before resuming again about 12.30am on Tuesday in tractor-trailers loaded with pallets of propane tanks.

Lake County Sheriff Gary Borders said the blasts occurred inside the plant and blew the roof off.

After the second round of explosions, Tavares Fire Chief Richard Keith pulled his firefighters out for fear that they would be injured, the paper reported.

Residents described sounds similar to a shotgun or fireworks and saw bursts of light and a bright orange glow above the treetops, they said. Some reported a ??giant fireball?? in the sky.

Residents living nearby have been evacuated, authorities said.
