Explosion Kills Plant Owner in Winfield Iowa
An explosion and fire at the Stucker Fertilizer Plant in Winfield Iowa killed Wayne Stucker 55 and injured employee Hester Remick 56. Sheriff Russell Van Tuyl said the blast may have been caused by a boiler explosion or a container of chemicals. Remick was burned and Stucker was thrown back into the building. Remick tried to drag him out but flames drove them back. Mrs Stucker arrived at the scene and was treated for shock while Remick received hospital care for burns. About 20 Winfield firefighters battled the blaze which destroyed the plant roof and left only one wall of an adjacent warehouse standing.
