tap water catches fire, rural colorado

Ran into that issue in northern New Mexico last summer with water trucks used for dust control on construction sites. The drivers were warned not smoke when they opened the hatches to refill.
 
OMG... The water, it has turned against us!

Hope that Natural Gas facility has some money saved up because some lucky lawyer somewhere is going to make good money off this.
 
My uncle can sometimes get a poof of flame by holding a match next to his kitchen faucet right when he turns it on. He lives in the middle of a bunch of corn fields in Illinois.
 
The house I grew up in had a similar problem. There was natural gas trapped in the well. That was about 15 to 20 years ago. One day it ignited and shot the top to the well, which weighs about 50 lbs, in the air. It fell back down and cracked it into two pieces. I was sleeping at the time. It scared the sh!t out of me. You could probably hear the explosion a mile or more away.
 
holy shit.


reminds of that abandoned town that has the decades-long underground mine fire. Freaky. I think the Silent Hill video game was loosely based on the suburb..

ah, Centralia, PA is the place.
