WAYLAND, Mich. — Crews are responding to an oil well fire in Allegan County Monday afternoon.

Police say the well caught fire around 3 p.m. in the area of 132nd Avenue and Division Avenue in Wayland.

Crews were able to get the fire out, which they believe started in a tank. Allegan Emergency Management says it was a petroleum fire, meaning they had to use foam to take out the blaze, instead of water. 

No one was injured or in the area when the fire began. There is no threat or danger to the public.
