BELTSVILLE, MD. (WUSA9) 

Fire officials say they have determined the cause of an explosion overnight at a building in Beltsville, Md.

Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc Bashoor tweeted that the technical rescue team evaluated the damage in the 11642 Old Baltimore Pike at a business called the Eaton Corporation.  The company deals in aerospace parts, according to workers there.

Bashoor says a portion of the warehouse sustained structural damage from a pressurized air tank explosion, but there was not fire. He also says there was "no cause for the incident to have occurred."

No one was injured.
