Flames visible for miles around are part of regularly scheduled maintenance at a gas company in Clearcreek Township, Warren County dispatchers said.

The fire was visible jetting from the top of a tower Thursday evening near state Route 122 and Hart Road.

A number of onlookers were watching the flames, and heat could be felt from 100 yards away.

Dispatchers said that the burnoffs occur every few months.
