A massive four-alarm fire broke out at a Pepsi plant in Piscataway, NJ Tuesday night, injuring two firefighters.

The fire was extinguished wednesday morning and all plant workers escaped unharmed. Both firefighters were treated at a local hospital and released.

Local roads were closed until early wednesday morning, as more than 100 firefighters battled the blaze, which began outside of the building. Pepsi confirmed that the cause of the fire was under investigation. 

The plant makes Mountain Dew and other sodas.
