Crews battle fire after explosion at wastewater fracking site in Greeley

GREELEY, Colo. - Firefighters in Greeley battled fire Friday at a wastewater fracking site in Greeley after an explosion.

At about 1:15 p.m., crews were dispatched to the area of the explosion at Weld County Road 64 and 47 -- northeast of the Greeley Airport.

The fire was near a wastewater injection well, where spent fluids like the ones used in hydraulic fracturing are taken after they are used, Greeley Fire Department spokeswoman Dale Lyman said.

Two homes within 500 yards of the fire were evacuated as a precaution, but no other homes were in danger, Lyman said.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated. However, Lyman said there was a lot of lightning in the area at the time of the report.

There have been hundreds of fracking fires in the US where is is most done away from houses, some people have even had their tap water burst into flames, and DC wants to do it under people's houses!

Is Fracking Triggering Earthquakes In Texas?
A dramatic increase in earthquakes in Texas is causing alarm, with many pointing the figure at the fracking industry.By Greg Milam, US Correspondent

Seismologists are investigating whether a swarm of earthquakes in Texas is the result of new fracking for oil and gas.

The area around the city of Irving, which had never experienced a quake before 2008, has now experienced more than a hundred.

Locals suspect that hydraulic fracturing - pumping high pressure liquid into the bedrock to free oil and natural gas - or the associated process of wastewater injection is to blame.
