All three were in the plant at the time of the explosion, Dodge County Attorney Pam Hopkins told CBS News. On Wednesday, the focus at the scene &#8220;shifted from rescue efforts to recovery efforts,&#8221; Hopkins said.<\/p>\n<p>The three have not been identified. Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg said at a news conference that the man was an employee at the plant. The two children were waiting for him to go to a doctor&#8217;s appointment. The girls were under 12, Spellerberg said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My heart hurts,&#8221; Spellerberg said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a tragedy.

A 2014 fire at the building had damaged the electrical system but left the structure intact, according to reporting by the Fremont Tribune.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/30\/f99bcfb7-26b9-4bce-95d8-e4af5c7cca63\/thumbnail\/620x349\/e87364c0da4370994f0a07b9054da49e\/ap25210730204382.jpg#\" alt=\"Nebraska Explosion \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/30\/f99bcfb7-26b9-4bce-95d8-e4af5c7cca63\/thumbnail\/620x349\/e87364c0da4370994f0a07b9054da49e\/ap25210730204382.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/30\/f99bcfb7-26b9-4bce-95d8-e4af5c7cca63\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/16d2a4d62680c211701e0a2adb95ff87\/ap25210730204382.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Firefighters battle a fire after an explosion in an industrial area in Fremont, Neb., Tuesday, July 29, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Chris Machian\/Omaha World-Herald via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Taylor Kirklin, who lives about a half mile from the building, said her whole house shook Tuesday.
