USA - 1 Dead One Injured In Oil Tank Explosion & Fire !!

1 person dead in large oil tank explosion in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky


Fire officials say they arrived to two oil tanks that had blown with heavy fire showing. One adult male was located 100 feet from the oil well unresponsive with no pulse, a second adult male was transported to the hospital for respiratory issues. Fire suppression was started upon arrival, and was extinguished with 275 gallons of foam and 12,000 gallons of water.
