HOWARD COUNTY - A big blaze ignites this morning in Howard County.
Chief Tommy Sullivan with the Howard County Volunteer Fire Department says they were called out to the fire around 7:40 a.m. Saturday morning on Guitar Lease Ranch.
That's about seven miles from Interstate and close to Highway 176.
Three heater treaters owned by Athlon Oil Company were all destroyed in the fire.
We're told the flames ignited after one heater treater failed and caught the other two on fire.
Seven units responded to the scene and the Howard County volunteers even had to get some back up water supply from surrounding oil companies.
There were no injuries but we're told the blaze caused an estimated $100,000 to $120,000 in damage.
