Red Adair, oil well fighter and Texan died -
some quotes from article about him:

"His daring and his reputation for having never met a blowout he couldn't cap earned him the nickname "Hellfighter." It inspired the title of a 1968 movie based on Adair's life, "The Hellfighters," in which John Wayne played him. "That's one of the best honors in the world: To have The Duke play you in a movie," Adair said."

Adair, who never showed fear in life, joked in 1991 that the hereafter would be no different.
"I've done made a deal with the devil," Adair said. "He said he's going to give me an air-conditioned place when I go down there, if I go there, so I won't put all the fires out."
