An emergency official says no one was injured when a storage
tank fire broke out at a drilling well pad in Marshall County.
Marshall County Emergency Management director Tom Hart says
the fire was reported around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday at Gastar Exploration's
Armstrong pad near the Wetzel County line.
Hart says four to five tanks were burning when firefighters
arrived. The fire was extinguished in about an hour and the well pad wasn't
damaged.
Hart didn't know what the tanks contained, but hey obviously
flammable material.
