Two firefighters are hurt after a massive fire at a Pepsi warehouse in Piscataway, New Jersey. At one point, the blaze was so big, several people in the neighborhood said they heard loud explosions. As CBS2's Elijah Westbrook reported, firefighters worked throughout the night to put out hotspots. One was treated at the hospital for heat exhaustion, and the other for a shoulder injury. However, all 30 employees who worked at the regional plant managed to escape without 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. "I live approximately five minutes away, I heard the explosions," he told CBS2.
