The explosion occurred at about 11:30 a.m. Monday at 106 Forest Ave., Hudson Fire Chief Jamie Desautels and Hudson Police Chief Richard DiPersio said in a statement. 

Upon arrival, first responders noticed fire and “heavy” smoke coming from the building, which is a garage, a spokesperson for the Hudson Fire Department told Boston.com.
