KUWAIT CITY (AP) -- Fighting around the southern Iraq oil fields that U.S.-led forces had previously thought were secure has driven out civilian firefighters trying to put out the oil well blazes, the top firefighter said Monday.

"It's not nearly as safe as they said it was," said Brian Krause, vice president and senior blowout specialist for Houston-based Boots and Coots. "We're kind of sitting ducks out there."

U.S. troops have found a suspected chemical factory near the Iraqi city of An Najaf and officials are trying to determine whether it was involved in making chemical weapons. U.S. troops found Cipro, used to prevent anthrax infection, among high-ranking Iraqis taken prisoner. No illegal weapons have been found or used to date.
