Tangentially related and recommended. Werner Herzog's film that also features longer sections on the fire fighting efforts on the oil fields.

For lighter viewing there is Sorcerer (1977) [0] with Roy Scheider.

Not sure I'd call that lighter viewing, but it's a truly excellent movie.

Someone just recommended this to me the other day!

I must also recommend the recently-deceased legend Sebastiao Salgado's photos from Kuwait oil fires.

I watched this movie on cinema a decade ago. Highly recommended.

It is, indeed, a tremendous documentary. He's one of my greatest inspirations.
