Fire swept through three oil field storage tanks about seven miles south of Lafitte today, sending 12 workers scrambling for safety across a precarious wooden suspension bridge. There were no reports of injuries. The fire broke out about 8:30 a.m. on Production Island, which serves about 150 oil-producing wells in the 15-square-mile Lafitte field.
