Earlier we mentioned you might want to check out TXSharon to learn about the gas well pad fire that caused $8 million dollars in damage and burned eight tractor trailers to the ground. She later posted video. So far, it's the only video we've seen.
Over on FW Weekly, Peter Gorman talks about the night of the fire, and how the armed guard posted at the site now won't let anyone, anywhere near it.
Read it all here, read Peter's warning below.
This is the fourth fairly major near-catastrophe here in our neck of the woods in the last couple of years. There was the head blown off a separator tank in Lillian; a couple of lightning proof water separator tanks that were blown to kingdom come by lightning in Godley, and now this.
Fortunately, we live out in the country, where wells are not generally dug right next to homes. Fort Worth is a different story. You’re not always going to be able to get aid from 11 different fire companies on some of those narrow streets. And that’s when near-catastrophe becomes catastrophe.
I’ll cross my fingers; I’ll think good thoughts, but I’m watching the incidents pile up.
