  • Infernos from oil and gas rigs called “hellfires” are some of the most dangerous and expensive fires in the world to extinguish.  Their damage to life, the environment and corporate profits, can be enormous and fighting them are a costly specialty.  In this rarified field, Boots and Coots are considered the A-team, the specialists who are on call to be anywhere in the world in 24 hours when hell breaks loose.  When the Iraqis torched the oil fields of Kuwait during the Gulf War, Boots and Coots were called in to douse some of the most difficult ones.
