The chief of the McDonald Volunteer Fire Department was killed in an explosion in West Virginia.
Scott Albertini, died Tuesday morning at the Midland Resource Recovery plant in Barbour County, West Virginia.
Two people were killed and one person was injured in an explosion at the same plant last month.
In a preliminary report on Tuesday’s explosion, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection says contractors at the facility were disassembling a 30-gallon tank, trying to render tanks safe from the previous explosion on May 24.
The agency says a preliminary report shows one other person was injured and an unknown quantity of Mercaptan, the chemical used to give natural gas an odor, was spilled.
