Fire occurring with scrap is nightmare that no workplace wants
to face. But, as history has shown, scrap fires at aluminium plants do occur.
Here is a recent incident of scrap fire:
The
fire authorities deployed 11 firefighting devices and 27 personnel to
extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes.
Earlier,
at around 6:59 a.m., a fire presumed to be spontaneously ignited broke out in a
pile of aluminum raw materials at the (company name omitted) aluminum
manufacturing plant in (location omitted).
Authorities
deployed 12 firefighting devices and 30 personnel to extinguish the fire in
about four hours.
Although
3 tons of aluminum raw materials were burned by fire, there were no casualties.
Police
and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire and the
extent of the damage.
We are thankful no workers, nor fire department personnel were
injured during the fire and fire fighting operation.
If you have scrap at your facility, do you have a plant when (not
if) a fire breaks out?
