Officials believe a spark from a water pump ignited a fire at a plant that treats water used in oil and gas drilling about 15 miles west of Rawlins.
The fire occurred Saturday afternoon at the Red Desert Water Reclamation plant in Sweetwater County. There were no injuries, but the plant was shut down until the following morning.
Firefighters from Sweetwater and Carbon counties responded to the fire.
Officials tell the Rawlins Daily Times that the fire was fueled in part by petroleum condensate, which is a product of oil and gas field-produced water treated at the plant.
