Now, conflicting reports have been published about the incident and very few details are available after two people fell into a chocolate tank and were rescued by first responders at the Mars M&M factory in Pennsylvania Thursday.

“Fire crews have pulled straight out of a tank,” Brad Wolfe, communications supervisor for Lancaster County 911 dispatch, reporters earlier on Thursday. “They have to cut a hole in the side of the tank to get them out,” he said.

A Lancaster County 911 supervisor says the first victim was extricated from the tank at 3:10 p.m. and the second was out by 3:25 p.m. Both were reported to have been treated and released.

CNN had a different version.

“One patient was transported by ground and one person was transported by helicopter,” to a local hospital, Assistant Supervisor Nick Schoenberger of Lancaster County 911 Dispatch told CNN.

The extent of their injuries is unknown.

Authorities were called to help cut a hole into the tank to assist the rescue, according to a dispatch supervisor. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating this incident.

A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said they were managing the situation and are “extremely grateful for the quick work of the first responders.”

ABC 7 in Los Angeles is reporting that the tank was full of chocolate when the incident occurred. The Hill is reporting that It’s unclear if the tank was empty or contained chocolate at the time of the rescue.

A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said: “We are actively managing the situation and our primary focus is supporting emergency teams on site.”

No word on if authorities found any Oompa Loompa’s.
