Officials said the explosion happened before 5 p.m. in Longville, near Cordial Lane and South Cooley Road. Authorities still don t know why the victim, identified as Zalee Day, was at the site.
The fire had no other casualties, though it could be seen and felt from miles away, residents told local news outlets.
“The first thing I could see out of the front door of my house was a big cloud of boiling oil smoke and fire,” Ragley resident Brenda Eddins said. “I was in my house and I heard a big boom and a second boom. And then my house shook, and when my house shook, I was like, ‘What is that?’ Then I knew it was something big.
