On April 5, 2024, at around 8:45 PM, a 100-ton crane was being towed when the crane's brakes overheated and caught fire. While putting out the fire, a tire caught fire and exploded. Shrapnel and debris struck an employee's right leg resulting in lacerations and avulsions to the leg. They also sustained contusions to their left foot.
