Monday, January 22nd, 2018 — Five people were missing after an explosion and fire at a gas well in Pittsburg County, according to Emergency Manager Kevin Enloe. The fire is west of Quinton, between that city and Featherston. The explosion took place a little before 9 a.m., sending flames shooting 50 feet in the air. The Pittsburg County sheriff said about two-dozen people were working on the rig when it exploded. Emergency crews accounted for 17 of them, with five still missing. Video from Osage SkyNews 6 HD shows the heat from the fire eventually caused the derrick to collapse. Flames then spread across the site.
