One employee was hurt Wednesday morning in an apparent explosion at a business near Cumming.

A call came in shortly after 11:30 a.m. about an explosion inside a business at 5760 County Line Road, Jason Shivers with the Forsyth County Fire Department told Channel 2 Action News.

The address matches that of Rub-R-Wall Rubber Polymer LLC, a company that makes rubber coatings.
