*January 3: NEWS FLASH !*
*Frac Explosion Near Salt Fork St. Park*
Last night at 5:49 p.m., the Antrim, Ohio, volunteer fire department chief
posted the first of four videos on its Facebook page

of
a raging fire at a well pad just off State Route 22.

The location is a 5.7 miles – a seven-minute drive along SR 22 – from the
entrance to Salt Fork State Park.

Information soon emerged that the fire was caused by an explosion at the Groh
well pad

(GIS
coordinates 40.110854 N, 81.370555 W), owned by Gulfport Appalachia. Drone
footage found one tank had completely collapsed with a second tank
breached, the fire chief said.

As flames shot 100 feet into the air, authorities in consultation with
Gulfport decided to let the fire burn itself out. SR 22 was closed and
would remain closed for several hours.

No one was injured, but an evacuation was called for everyone in a
half-mile radius.

Residents near Fairground Road, Brushy Fork Road, Dutch Barn Builders, and
Rainbow Road were asked to leave their homes and go to the fire station for
assistance.

“If you are getting the fumes and smoke, please leave your home and go to
the firehouse. We’ll get you documented. If you’re having difficulties with
breathing … we have an EMS crew waiting,” the chief said in the fourth video

“There is nothing we can do safely to put the fire out.”
