I was at a friends home on McBurney when the explosion occurred and drove straight to the gathering facility on Grape Hollow because I could see the thick black plumes of smoke easily before I got to Putney.

When I got up there I saw a white pickup blocking Grapehollow road with a guy wearing an Eclipse hardhat sitting in it and dialing his cell phone. I looked down at the fire and asked if anyone had gotten hurt and he told me "no".

I was standing there when he called his boss, I had thought he was calling 911 but I heard him tell the person on the other end that is was one of those trailers that they use to "vac" something that caught fire.

If an ambulance came I didn't see it among the Q.C.V.F.D. vehicles that went by my house about 30 minutes after the actual explosion, there is no way I would have missed one.

I was so surprised by the delay that I wondered why the fire and rescue guys took so long getting to the scene, unless they were not toned right away by the facility. It was definitely at the gathering facility on Grapehollow Rd., down over the hill and not up top where the trucks load the liquid stuff. Hard to tell what was burning but there must have been something highly flammable for the fire to last like it did.

I did not see a helicopter or hear one at the Grapehollow fire/explosion, I don't know how they would have snuck one in and out without me seeing it or hearing it.

Something about this story does not seem right, I was there within a few minutes of the explosion and came straight home afterwards, I don't live that far from the site.

sometimes they life flight people after they are transported to the local hospital. Might by why you didn't hear a helicopter.

The must be hauling sand for fracking the Purple Hayes up from 265, I have only seen a few of those trucks go by the house and they are definitely fracking that well.

Last week I saw a convoy of Halliburton trucks go by the house and I anticipated they were going to that site but when I went to check on the explosion I saw them sitting on the Fritz site.

A friend of mine told me that there had been a big bright light shining on the Fritz but the trucks that I saw go by look like they are just parked there for storage and not set up for fracking.

Maybe Eclipse is going to frack on the Fritz after they do the Purple Hayes.

It seems that they did not get all of the wells fracked or otherwise set up for production on the Fritz but I cannot be totally sure my memory is accurate on that.

There also is ever increasing pipeline traffic coming and going down to the HD Mclain site although it has rained quite a bit in the last 24 hours or so and that might slow what already looked like a very muddy dig.

All the wells have been fracked on the fritz pad.  I wonder if Eclipse has the right to use my well pad (Fritz) as a parking lot free of charge?
