Narrative

Employee arrived at work around 12:00 am; he noticed on the surveillance camera that the crude stockpile showed gray color on the screen. He thought it had fallen down; he then took off the dryer area and saw a flame coming from a pile of coal under the coal bin tank. At that time two employees came up and together they put out the fire with water. It took about1:20 minutes.
