An oilfield worker died Wednesday in a fire at a well site north of Belfield.
Officials say the fire occurred at a treater shack -- a facility housing equipment that separates oil, water and gas extracted from a well.
Emergency responders found the body with the remains of the shack, which burned to the ground. The Billings County sheriff says a nearby landowner heard an explosion about 15 minutes before the fire was reported.
The person who died worked for C&D Oilfield Services at a well site operated by the company Enduro, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The investigation into what caused the fire is ongoing.
