Tiny Fire Quickly Extinguished at Equitrans Pipe Metering Stn SWPA

On Friday, November 4, at approximately 6:45 am, the Bentleyville Fire Department responded to a 911 call by a resident regarding a small fire near Equitrans Midstream’s H-108 natural gas transmission line, located in Bentleyville Borough, Washington County, PA. Apparently, a valve caught fire. The fire was small and contained and was extinguished by 7:30 am. No injuries, no big explosions--overall a pretty minor incident. However, just to be safe, the nearby Bentworth School District canceled classes for the day, which of course, made the headlines in nearby Pittsburgh and gave anti-fossil fuel chatterers something to chatter about.
