Campbell County firefighters battled an oil location treater fire and a structure fire at a well site on Cosner Road near the town of Wright.

Multiple residents reported the early Monday morning fire. By the time crews arrived, two oil treaters and a separator were fully engulfed in flames, according to Oil City News.

The gas was turned off by oil company representatives allowing firefighters to extinguish the fire.

Kate Eischeid, a battalion chief with the Campbell County Fire Department, told Oil City News, no one was on-site at the time the fire began and there were no injuries reported, but the fire caused extensive damage to the site and rendered it inoperable.
