Multiple fire departments responded late Tuesday evening, March 11, to a fire at the site of a gas well on the 200 block of Cheeseman Road in Muddy Creek Township.

The fire departments worked into the early hours Wednesday to extinguish the blaze with foam trailers and multiple tanker trucks.

The report came in at around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, and a fire department said it was a working fire when the crew arrived on the scene.

The fire prompted a second alert before 11:30 p.m.

Departments from Butler and Lawrence counties were included in the response. The Butler County HAZMAT team also responded to the fire.
