The oil-drenched fire crews in Kuwait spent nine horrific months battling the blazes, toiling in dangerous – almost unbearable – conditions. And there was one Canadian company in the thick of it:
Safety Boss, based in Calgary, a small company considered an outsider and an underdog by the big American fire crews. But in the end, this company capped more wells than anybody else.

The Kuwait Fires Project provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead a team that could help control an oilfield disaster of previously unimagined proportions. Mike Miller and the Safety Boss crews proved a match for the task at hand.
In just 200 days, the Safety Boss team brought 180 wells under control - outperforming all other crews in the field including such industry legends at Red Adair and Boots & Coots.
