Investigation Summary
On March 20, 2009, a 'flare fire' occurred when a hot casting and foundry sand were dumped on the shaker table at the #1 Cast Line Dump Station. The flare ignited deposited material that had built-up on the interior of the exhaust hood. Flames entered the exhaust duct and traveled to the Bag House, resulting in a secondary fire and explosion. No injuries occurred to the employees or responding emergency personnel.
