Narrative

Contractor maintenance work (installing a sheet metal patch) was being performed on a bin under a vibrating screen at the facility wash plant. Welding slag blew through exterior wall of bin, igniting combustible rubber liners inside bin, causing a fire which impacted the bin, a vibrating screen, four conveyor belts, and adjacent infrastructure.
