Oil Well Flames Threaten Town
Hawkins, Tex. U.R) A rag
ing eas fire shooting flames 100
O feet into the air and roaring like
a "dczen tornadoes threatened
' to destroy this small East Texas
oiLtown today.
nelpless residents could only
await the arrival of four veteran
oil well fire fighters from Hous
ton. - The experienced fighters
probably will try to blow the
Well out with nitroglycerin, but
there was no assurance they
would succeed.
The flames shooting into the
air set fire to the main business
district a block away. Residents
living near the well loaded their
' furniture in moving vans and
left for neighboring towns until
the danger is past. . .
The well blew out about 1
p.m. yesterday as a crew of the
Gibson Drilling Co., of Kilgore
worked to seal off the gas and
make the well an oil producer
again. The public school nearby
was immediately evacuated, and
gas was shut off m houses in
the area.
The gas caught fire at 4:55
p.m., apparently from friction
caused by sand and rock parti
cles being blown out of the
well. Witnesses said the rushing,
rumbling noise, ' varying in in
tensity, sounded like a dozen
tornadoes.
