Family's Water Still Burns in West Milford (WV)
A family out of West Milford is still dealing with the unthinkable. You may have seen something similiar in the movie "Gasland" and on the internet. The Wilfong family's water lights on fire straight from the tap because it's contaminated with natural gas. After endless questions, they're not sure where to turn.

The Wilfong's story hasn't changed much since we last brought their story to you on August 31. They still can't shower in their own home, and can't drink their water. That's all because they had a water well drilled in their lawn, and now after the shock is over they just want answers.

"It's been a lot of the same. We're just waiting to find out what to do. I have been advised of some things to do with my water well, but it's not something they can tell me will fix the problem," says Mark Wilfong, water lights fire.

The Wilfongs have tried to contact numerous agencies who they think could provide some sort of explanation.
