<p>The explosion happened at the R.M. Palmer Company chocolate factory in West Reading at around 5 p.m., according to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/us/fire-chocolate-factory-west-reading.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Times.</p>

<p>Law enforcement said that the cause of the explosion, which shook houses several blocks away, was under investigation.</p>
