This image provided by the Santa Barbara County Fire Department shows an oil spill flowing down a creek, Jan. 5, 2008 behind Firestone Vineyard, north of Los Olivos, Calif. Officials later determined this spill was 190,000 gallons of crude oil and contaminated water from Greka Oil & Gas Inc. The county fire department alone has responded to at least 400 oil spills and gas leaks at Greka Oil & Gas Inc. facilities since the company came to Santa Barbara nine years ago.
