This has nothing to do with fracking.  They were in the process of drilling the well and hit a gas pocket at 900 feet, much higher than expected.  It looks like a house fire, and we have house fires here all the time.  Guess its time to ban wooden houses?

Gas and oil well fires are nothing new. There have been literally thousands of them in all types of wells, all over the world. Move along folks there's nothing to see here.........
