[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1922]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Elk city's spectacular oil well fire was still blazing Sunday after it was blown out once by explosives and then re-ignited almost immediately. Myron M. Kinley, famed Houston oil well firefighter, and his crew of men will make another attempt to extinguish the blaze Monday. Sunday's attempt was the climax of a major-four-day engineering project under Kinley's direction before the fire was snuffed out of time. In the picture above, the oil drum holding 200 pounds of nitroglycerine at the end of a long specially constructed boom is above toward the blaze with a bulldozed under kinley's watchful eye."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1926]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The jumble of metal at right was once worth many thousands of dollars. It was oil well drilling machine before the Shell well caught fire. The flames quickly reduced it to tangled junk. Crews managed to hook cables to this and pull it out. Here, the wreckage is surveyed by J. H. Carmichael, 52 1/2 SW 24, and Herman Awes, Tulsa, superintendents for Heimerich and Payne, Inc., the drilling contractors on the lease."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1916]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "These flames are 100 feet or more behind M.M. Kinley and Paul Adair, the Houston fire fighters called in to combat the blaze. It is plenty hot at this spot. The bulldozer was used to shove up earthen embankments as close to the fire as it could possibly get. These offered some protection, just as did the improvised metal shield behind which the men are standing in the picture on Page 1, but it was dangerous and uncomfortable work at best, and extreme care was necessary."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.0437]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "How dead is dead? Try an amusement park in the middle of winter for size. That's about as deserted a place as can be found. There's something about a wild ride that doesn't go with wintertime winds. Wedgewood Park has an even more deserted look about it than some. A couple of caretakers are on the property, but they don't have a lot to do. They touch up, paint a little bit and keep out people who don't belong there. Outside of that, nothing goes on. Oh, the field rats, thick at this time of year, made an effort to find a home there earlier. But this proved to be a bad choice - everything's shut down and cold, so the animals who escaped freezing moved on. The swimming pool looks a bit dismal without any water or pretty girls lounging around. The rides are gay affairs in summertime, but in winter they get pretty gruesome looking. The pretty painted cars are taken inside out of the weather............Yep. Better come back next summer. Amusement parks are happy places to forget about cares and stuff. But not in winter. …

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1921]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "That dark mound in the right center of the picture probably was the villain of the re-ignition story. It was the traveling block, the pulley-like mechanism that moved up and down at the end of cable and supported the drilling tools, the easing, etc. It couldn't be pulled out of the crater because most of the time it was enveloped in flame. Photographer Owen got this shot at a moment when a vagrant breeze whipped the blaze the other way. the block, red hot, probably supplied the spark or the glow that ignited the gas again after it was blown out."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1932]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "This was the crucial disappointing moment last Sunday morning when the Shell Oil fire near Elk City was out-but wouldn't stay. Note the light cloud of smoke at the extreme right. That is smoke, steam and vapor from the original blaze. It hung close by during the four-minute interval in which the flames were extinguished after the big nitro puff. The darker cloud in the center is greasy smoke from the smoldering debris in the crater after the fire was out. At the left is the first flash of flame after the gas was ignited again. Cars in the foreground are on a lease adjoining the Sheel Oil Co. spread."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1913]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Ever blow the flame off a burning match? Well, here's what was supposed to be a garagantuan puff, 200 pounds of nitroglycerine, to blow the flame off og nature's brilliant torch that had lighted the Elk City oil field Tuesday night until Monday morning. The "nitro" is in the water-cooled drum at the end of the boom just as workmen edged it toward the flame in a rehearsal for a second try Monday before the blaze extinguished itself. Sunday the fire was snuffed out when the "nitro" went off at 11 a. m. but gas ignited again in four minutes from glowing metal in the crater of the 40,000,00-cubic feet wild gasser."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "No one knows just what happened deep in the earth to make the wild well choke itself to death. But the enormous pressure of gas apparently gouged out the sides of the hole in such a way that they fell it on themselves and formed a natural plug. Oil men call it "bridging." Beforehand, through, the well belched up mighty columns of mud, soil and rock through the heart of the flame. That black column in left center is it. It rose 100 feet or more, but not as high as the flame at their peak."
