An explosion in Shell Point on Thursday afternoon jostled residents more than a mile away.
Shortly after 3 p.m., crews from the Burton Fire District responded to reports of an explosion in the area of Joppa Road. They discovered a small fire burning in the rear of a residence, and it was quickly extinguished. Investigators determined that an oxygen bottle likely exploded and caused the fire.
