Investigation In Building 54

The Safety Department received a call from a concerned employee that a fire had damaged a diesel pump at Building 54. The employee advised that while reporting to work he noticed that the area was damaged by what appeared to have been a fire. The Fire Chief and Safety reported to the area to find that a fire had occurred, apparently overnight,  near the diesel pumps and had indeed damaged the pumps as well an emergency eyewash station. Upon investigating it was found that the fire was started by an electrical malfunction in nearby heat tape which then spread to the hose of the diesel pump. The fire self extinguished.
