CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A fire at a chemical plant near Cheyenne has burned three people.

Laramie County Fire District No. 1 Chief Darrick Mittlestadt says firefighters got the call about the fire at the Dyno Nobel plant around 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

He says the company fire brigade at the plant a couple miles west of Cheyenne had the fire under control by the time county firefighters arrived.

Mittlestadt says two people were taken by ambulance to a hospital. The identities and conditions of the victims weren't immediately available.

Messages left at Dyno Nobel weren't immediately returned.

Dyno Nobel Inc. is a supplier of industrial explosives for mining and other industries. A worker at the plant in November was hospitalized after he inhaled ammonia gas through a malfunctioning respirator.
