The machine, about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, exploded
around 8:10 a.m. at the Bay Area Coffee Company at 4201 Industrial Way while
it was burning off residue to clean itself, Capt. Joshua Chadwick said.
When it exploded, debris hit the employee and he was taken to a
local hospital with minor injuries in a private vehicle.
Since the dispatcher was told there was an explosion, the fire was
upgraded to a second alarm, but firefighters contained it to the single
machine and put the fire out with one hose, Chadwick said.
It was contained around 8:23 a.m.
The building was not damaged, just the machine, and no other
injuries were reported.
