Firefighters Ready 150 Pound Charge To Bang Out Oil Well Blaze
Winds eased in Glenrock Wyoming as Chaparral Resources and Red Adair Co. prepared a 150 pound nitroglycerin charge to extinguish a stubborn oil well fire that reignited Christmas Eve. Fire crews expected to cut the blaze with a heatshielded bulldozer, following a 500 pound blast last Saturday. Temperatures hovered near zero as Jimmie Adair led the team in fresh efforts after a Monday night flare up possibly sparked by static.
