Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:02 p.m. on April 7, 2011, Employee #1 and Employee #2 were filling the metal water storage tank while replacing a fire pump that supplied the fire hydrants and the fire sprinkler system to an unoccupied building. Employee #1 and Employee #2 were inside the pump house, a concrete block building, at the rear of the unoccupied building. The metal water storage tank was on the West side of the pump house. The metal water storage tank failed, splitting at the seam and struck the exterior wall of the pump house. The pump house collapsed inward on Employee#1 and Employee#2. Both employees were killed from the falling debris.
