No internal combustion engine, storage tanks, boiler, fired equipment or open flames, except welding supervised by the production foreman, drilling foreman, drilling engineer, drilling supervisors or safety supervisors, shall be located closer than 25 feet to a producing well or closer than 100 feet to a drilling well. Internal combustion engines, and their fuel tanks, used in the drilling, production and servicing of oil wells are exempt from the above provisions. During drilling operations on a drill site of two acres or less in area where two or more wells are drilled and drilling and production equipment are located on such sites, the provisions in this section relating to distances of storage tanks may be altered at the discretion of the Fire Chief after consideration of the special features, such as topographical conditions, nature of occupancy, proximity to buildings on adjoining property and height and character of construction of such buildings, capacity and construction of proposed tanks, character of liquids to be stored, degree of private fire protection to be provided, and facilities of the Fire Department to cope with flammable liquid fires.
