Hunters are warned to stay away from pilot gas flames in Peel Petroleum fields. Pilot lights, though tempting to warm hands, can cause disastrous flash burns. Danger is greatest in the Headquarters gas field south of Prudenville about 15 miles northeast of Harrison where pilots burn as small yellow blooms and automatic switches can trigger gas and flame eruptions as large as a maple tree.
