## Narrative

Spray tower plugged which limited draft to the system, the cooler compartment fans were brought up by the operator and the pressure became positive in the kiln firing hood, which pushed hot air into the burner pipe causing fuel and the coal flex pipe to ignite.  The fire dept was called to put out the fire.
