Narrative

A welding crew was working on the middle of three stacked screens, which had some rubber/urethane screens. The crew failed to mitigate the fire hazard posed by the hot work near/above flammable materials. During welding, slag or other hot debris fell to the lower screen deck, setting it on fire. The flames were out in less than 30 minutes. There were no injuries.
