Narrative

A fire developed on the upper most elevation of the preparation plant being constructed in Brookwood, AL for Covol Engineered Fuels. It is assumed that slag from a cutting torch unknowingly fell inside a polyethylene pipe, allowing it to smolder and eventually catch fire from the inside of the pipe(s). MSHA's 800 number was called - report # 1-52227611.
