ITC fire. Deer park
Originally posted by deerplanter View PostI drive by this everyday to work on tidal road and have never seen a pump in the firewall, but never looked real hard. The original fire was coming out the vents in the roof of the tank. My bet is the seal failed on the internal floating ceiling and allowed vapors to escape but I'm not sure what the ignition source would be, but these are right next to tidal road.
No telling. We had a fire a few years ago due to a pump seal failure. Plant I work in now doesn’t really have flammables so don’t worry about it too much now. Lol

I have seen stranger things happen. Like a temp pump being hooked up backwards, then failing, resulting in a fire impinging on a large lpg vessel, which in turn BLEVE'd.
I'll definitely be interested in the outcome of the investigation.
I'm curious when the CIMA call went out. Was it after the initial tank started lighting off the surrounding tanks?
