I grew up north of Scranton, I remember 50 years ago, farmer friends in school would tell how they could set the water pickets on fire, well water has gas in it. There were gas pockets all over the country side. Long before they started drilling for it.

Yep. That is also the same as Dimock. Our community in the past had the same problem until they removed the gas with conventional drilling. We still occasionally have problems, but nothing like the exploding hot water heaters of the past.
