  RMKS/1. (@ DUE TO VARYING FACTORS INCLUDING FIRE LOCATION, WIND
  SPEED AND DIRECTION, AS WELL AS TEMPERATURE. RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND
  THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED THERMAL INVERSION THESE FIRES SHOULD BE
  REGARDED AS HAVING POTENTIAL   FOR CREATING CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE
  PO;:NT
      ,@ALLY HAZARDOUS TO TROOPS.
  2.     GIVEN LOCAL CONDITIONS AND WELL HEAD PRESSURE, THE PLUME
  LI ELY WILL HAVE A VERTICAL CONFIGURATION. THEN HORIZONTAL.
  PERSONNEL "DOWN WIND" MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PARTICULATES, GASES AND
  VAPORS PRESENT IN THE PLUME.
  3.,Wl THE M-17 AND A-40 GAS MASK FILTERS WILL PROTECT AGAINST
  PETROLEUM COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS (SMOKE AND HIGHER WEIGHT
  HYDROCARBONS), SOME PROTECTION AGAINST IRRITANT GASES AND LIMITED
  PROTECTION AGAINST HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S) FROM NON-BURNING SOUR
  WELLS. PLUMES GENERATED FROM BURNING "SOUR" (HIGH SULFUR CONTENT)
  WELLS 00 NOT CONSTITUTE A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE Of H2S. DUE TO
  CONVERSION TO SULFUR OXIDES.
  4.,Wr THE SMOKE POSES AN INHALATION HAZARD WHICH CAN BE COMPARED
