Oil well eruption in Karlino, Poland

The Karlino oil eruption was an oil well blowout that took place on 9 December 1980, near Karlino, a town located in Pomerania in northern Poland, near the Baltic Sea coast.

It took more than a month for Polish, Soviet and Hungarian firefighters to completely extinguish the fire.
