Structure Fire at Keystone
Cement
 On
Saturday, July 29, 2006 - At 0759 hours, EAFD was dispatched for a
structure fire.
Assist Chief 4652 went on scene at Keystone Cement and took command.
Engine 4611 arrived and found smoke coming from a building with a coal
conveyor. It seems likely that some hot coal ignited the rubber
conveyor belt. As a precaution coal in the coal bunker that feeds the
conveyor was removed to extinguish any hot spots. Two firefighters
were briefly knocked down and partially covered with coal when a wave of
coal and water exited the bunker that they had been applying water into.
Due to the extreme heat and the need to frequently rotate crews, plus the
uncertainty dealing with this type of fire, numerous mutual aid companies
were summoned. The units cleared the scene within 8 hours.
