Ravencliff Gas Well Catches Fire
Mullens volunteer firemen fought a high pressure natural gas well fire on Skin Poplar Gap Mountain near Ravencliff until about 8 p.m. after gas leaked and burned for three hours. The well, drilled five months ago by Ravencliff Development Co., was not linked to the main line and no injuries or estimated damage were reported. Production was about 100000 cubic feet daily. Firemen used limited water and chemicals to contain the blaze, hauling extra water from a nearby creek to soak the well house and prevent rekindling after fire was checked.
