The initial investigation showed that a spark from a machine in the business started the fire, according to Butler County Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Peters.
Two people were “severely injured,” and a third suffered smoke inhalation injuries. All three were transported to local hospitals.
Officials worked to coordinate with a medical helicopter to aid in transport from the scene, according to emergency dispatch traffic, but determined it could not fly.
Officials reported the fire out at about 1:30 p.m.
