Fire officials in Delaware say five workers have been injured in a foundry explosion.

Officials say the fire at Liberty Casting Company was already extinguished when crews responded to the scene around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

According to the company's website, they specialize in "gray, ductile and high alloy iron casting."
