Firefighters Knockdown Fire Involving Haz-Mat
Charlotte NC – Firefighters knocked down a fire involving hazardous materials at an east Charlotte business Tuesday morning September 20, 2011.
While engaged in a routine area survey firefighters observed a column of smoke issuing from a commercial business located at 8601 Monroe Road and requested a working fire assignment. Once on scene firefighters made haste and deployed hoselines in an attempt to knockdown the flames impinging on several 55-gallon drums of fuel oil and Benzene.
Crews quickly knocked down the flames and confined the fire to the loading docked with minimal damage to the interior of the structure. The fire began on the loading dock when sparks from workers cutting copper pipe ignited a container of open fuel oil.
(31) Firefighters were summoned to the scene and brought the incident under in 1 hour and 11 minutes. Inbound lanes of Monroe Road, a major thoroughfare were closed forcing motorists to seek alternate routes for an extended period. There were no injuries to civilians or fire personnel.
Eternally committed to duty and service,
