Police and ambulance paramedics responded to reports of an explosion in West Kelowna about 1 p.m. today.
One man was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with serious injuries and is said to be in stable condition.
The explosion happened at Dead Metal Recycling, in the Westbank Industrial Park, at 2555 Auburn Rd.
The blast apparently happened outdoors, and police at the scene had an area taped off that included what appeared to be propane or some other sort of pressurized gas cylinders.
The man was apparently working on his own at the time.
Police said WorksafeBC would be investigating the incident.
