Narrative

The top portion of the A side of the plant washer caught on fire approximately 2 hours after hotwork (welding/cutting) had completed in that area. The fire is believed to have been caused by a piece of slag or burned metal that came in contact with unknown combustible material which may have smoldered and eventually caught fire. A detailed investigation is ongoing.
