Fought 1 fire where the BOP failed - flames over 700' high when we got there. Adair's group got the call. We hauled water and mud in for 4 days, non-stop. 12 frac-masters full, IIRC.
Took 98 gallons of water to extinguish said fire.
Rig demolished - no injuries, but some spectacular gymnastics performed by the (rapidly) exiting crew, according to tracks in the mud! 98 gallons?

What their meter said!
Basically spit on it and it was out.
Dumped in close to 100 barrels of mud to help contain it, after the flames were out.

If they're only making $500/day, they aren't much of an oilfield worker.

only worked 15 1/2 hours this past week installing floors. its always slow in jan/feb after the holidays. i made just under 1600 dollars, not oilfield pay but i'm home more and have time to fish/hunt now. i'm just thankful i had a trade to fall back on.
