RADFORD, Va. — One of three people injured during a flash fire at the main propellant-manufacturing facility for the U.S. Department of Defense has died.
The Joint Munitions Command of the U.S. Army says Andrew Goad died Saturday due to injuries sustained during last week’s blaze at Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Virginia.
The 42-year-old man of Dublin, Virginia, worked as a group leader at the facility.
