Narrative

There was a minor fire started when a piece of heated metal was discharged from a belt magnet into a plastic collection bin. The piece of metal was likely coming from a plastics shredder, where it was likely caught and discharged - then collected by the belt magnet. The damage was minor and corrected in the same day. No one was injured during or as a result of the incident.
