A series of tank-battery explo-sions at a Devon gas-well site late Friday morning startled neighbors and sent two men to the hospital with burns.
Welders were working at the site on Hlavek Road, a few miles west of Decatur0, when the explosions oc-curred.
“All I know is they were welding a separator, and there was an explo-sion,” said Wise County Fire Mar-shal Marc Dodd, who is investigat-ing the incident.
One of the welders was blown off a ladder. He suffered several fi rst-de-gree burns and was fl own to Park-land Hospital in Dallas.
“The concussion of the explosion knocked him off the ladder,” said Lt. Art Ferguson with the Wise County
System in Decatur.The explosions blasted one tank
battery 10 yards. The lids blew offtwo others. One lid landed, dentedand battered, 50 yards away by ashallow pond.
By the time fi refi ghters arrived,fl ames roared from the top of onethe tanks like an Olympic torch.Obsidian-colored smoke belchedacross the cow pasture surround-ing the well site. The pungent scentof burning petroleum by-productsmixed with the smell of manure.
The series of explosions rockednearby homes.
“I was sitting at home using thecomputer, and the whole houseshook, the windows rattled andthe door blew open,” said DanielleScroggins, who lives within eyesightof the well. “It was so loud.”
She said she ignored it at fi rst, be-

The Newark City Council is considering imple-mentation of an amendment to its curfew ordi-nance that would establish a daytime curfew for juveniles.
If adopted, the new law would not allow those under 17 outside on school days between 9 a.m. and either 2 or 3 p.m. Exceptions would be al-lowed for doctor and dental appointments, home-schooled students, those emancipated by mar-riage, etc.
The purpose is to deter truancy and daytime burglaries and vandalism, said Newark Police Chief Terry Fiene.
“Most moms and dads both work, leaving neigh-borhoods completely empty,” Fiene said. “If kids are free to roam, burglaries come up.
“We don’t have a problem with this type of be-havior now, but it’s good to put this in place now as the city grows.”
“I did some research and looked at the typi-cal daytime curfew hours,” said council member Chana Massey. “They usually don’t allow kids out from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.”
The city attorney will review the proposal be-fore the council meets in April.
If the council chooses to adopt the daytime cur-few, it will be attached to its current curfew law, ordinance A-311. At Thursday’s city council meet-ing, the council voted unanimously to renew the ordinance. The ordinance must be renewed every three years. It expired in late 2009.
The present ordinance makes it illegal for ju-veniles to be out from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 12:01 a.m. to 6 a.m. on Fri-day and Saturday.
