Louisiana (KYTX) - One Bullard, Texas man has been killed in a DeSoto Parish natural gas well blowout, and another injured.

58 year old James Dennis of Bullard was killed early Wednesday when the well, owned by Dynasty Transportation LLC, a contractor for Chesapeake, blew out during routine maintenance. Another Bullard man, 30 year old Jimmy Siler, was critically injured in the accident, and is currently listed in stable condition in LSU Hospital in Shreveport.

At least two other workers received minor injuries, and five firefighters who worked the blowout were treated afterwards for respiratory problems.
