Received a phone call from the Eddy County fire dispatch (575) 615-7155 stating that the Forehand Ranch #8H tank battery in eddy county was on fire and emergency personal were on location. Dispatched the pumper to location. At this point it was determined that the 4x20 125psi heater treater for the FHR #8 well was on fire. The well was shut in and the fire department was able to put out the fire. Upon completion of exhausting the flames it was determined the fire was caused from a rubber gasket on the manway plate giving up and venting gas. When the gas came into contact with the hot exhaust from the fire tube it ignited. Both manway plates are still on the vessel. Corrective action is being taken.
