Oil field disposal plant in eastern Montana explodes, no injuries

Authorities say an explosion at a storage and disposal plant in the oil fields of eastern Montana Wednesday night was felt by people 10 miles (16 kilometers) away but caused no injuries or fatalities. The fire continued to burn Thursday while emergency crews waited until it became safer to approach the site, Richland County Emergency Manager Brandon Roth said. No one was at the saltwater disposal plant about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) south of Sidney, Montana, when the explosion happened, Roth said.
