Some reports listed a series of explosions, but only one has been confirmed.
Explo Systems, owns a series of bunkers, near Camp Minden Army ammunition plant.
Their government contract gives them the job of disassembling ordnance, and recycling the old parts.
It's not yet clear what caused one of the bunkers to explode, but it did so with enough force to show up on weather radars.
The National Weather Service released a statement saying, "Based on radar analysis, the plume was initially as high as almost 7,200 feet above ground level."
All Explo employees, who were working at the time, are accounted for with only minor injuries.
