Fires are our industry’s
worst nightmares. Sometimes the fires occur outside the factory gates. Here is
a recent incident highlighting the hazard of fires outside the workplace.
A vegetation fire at (location
omitted) saw firefighters work till 5.30am Monday in order to extinguish the
blaze.
Fire and Emergency (country name
omitted) responded to calls of a vegetation fire near (smelter name omitted),
at 10.46pm Sunday.
Shift manager said at the height of
the fire they had three fire crews, three water tankers and multiple support
vehicles at the scene.
The fire was brought under control
“fairly quickly” but crews remained at the scene until 5.30am to make sure the
fire was completely out.
Shift manager said a fire investigator
went to the scene Sunday night and may be back later Monday morning.
Thankfully no one was
injured in this incident. We reported on incident where the road to the
aluminum plant went through desolate area. The vegetation in the area caught on fire. Workers in
route to their jobs had to abandon their vehicles and run for their lives.
Thankfully this incident was not a repeat of that horror.
