Found this video of Red Adair putting out a burning gas well in Egypt in 1961. They called it the Devil's cigarette lighter. The flame was 700 feet high. They had to use heat-shielded bulldozers and a long water-cooled hook to pull all the wreckage of the destroyed oil rig out of the way before they could even blow out the flame.
I couldn't see any PWs in the video, but there was a brief glimpse of a vehicle with a windshield of vertical rectangular flat glass that must have been an M-series something.
