Employee killed in fire at fuel plant

One person died during a fire at an industrial plant in the small west Bohemian town of Vřesová on Wednesday night. Three others were also injured in the blaze, which broke out just before midnight following an explosion at the Sokolovské uhelné fuel plant. The man who died was aged 56, said a spokesperson for the rescue services. Two employees suffered severe burns in another fire at the plant in 2007.
