FIRESTONE – — Firestone trustees approved seven new gas wells in the town Wednesday night, to be placed southeast of Frontier Street and Grant Avenue.

Waste will be handled through a closed-loop drilling system — which allows drilling fluid to be re-used and any wastes to be stored for removal from the site — rather than dumping it into an onsite storage pit.
The land is zoned for agriculture and sits just east of “historic Firestone,” the old town.
