Crews letting Longview oil tank fire 'burn out'

Posted: Updated:
LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) -

Crews are monitoring an oil tank fire on the northside of Longview.

Two or three oil tanks caught fire, possibly from a lightning strike, in an oil field tank battery behind Peter's Chevrolet on Highway 259.

Fire crews are not actively trying to put the fire out because there is no fear of a brush fire due to all the heavy rain that has moved through the area. The plan is to let the fire burn out.

No business or roadways are affected by the blaze.
