Crews were on the scene of a gas truck explosion in southeast Missouri on Wednesday afternoon, September 28.
According to Sgt. Clark Parrott with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, troopers responded to C-Mart in Bloomfield.
He said the only known injury at this time is the driver, who sustained minor injuries.
Parrott said the fire started from the truck and saddle tanks and spread to the holding tanks for the gas station.
Fire personnel remain on scene.
Authorities say it happened around 2 p.m. The blast could be heard by people all around the area.
“Sat down on my bed, just sat down for a minute, I was going to go back outside and start raking these rocks, and that was it,” said Lora Popp, a Bloomfield resident.
