No injuries are reported after a tank at Smitty's Supply in Roseland burst on Monday afternoon.

The EPA says the damaged tank blew its lid after it overpressurized.

Cleanup efforts continue at the plant after an explosion and fire on August 22. The cause of the explosion is still being investigated.

The EPA says toxic substances were found in soot following the explosion and fire, but not in the Tangipahoa River or local drinking water.
