This was from the gulf war where the routing forces set fire to upwards of 700 oil wells, the firefighters did a great job in cleaning up and stopping the fires.

The interesting thing is that this didn't take complex equipment to do, aside from misting the area so they could approach the fire geyser there was nothing more than the usual fire fighting equipment. To stop the jet of fire all it takes is a pipe, the kind that they use for the pipelines, and they just put it over the geyser on fire and balance it so that the flow enters the pipe as it stands vertically, then they tilt the pipe to a 60 degree angle and it extinguishes the flame from lack of oxygen.
Once this little trick was learned they were quenching huge amounts of the fires daily.
