    Fire Investigation Report


    Date : 09.05.2024

    Time : 6.30 AM

    Location : SMS#1 ( Stores)

    Brief Description of the fire:

    At 6.30 AM a fire call was received by fire dept. from Mr. Rohan of SMS#1.
    Immediately the fire crew responded to the call and reached the incident site
    within 2 minutes. After reaching at the spot they found that the mechanical stores
    which is located below the CCM is on fire. So, Immediately they started expelling
    water on the fire by fire tender to control the propagation of fire. Within 30
    minutes the fire was brought under control and within 45 minutes the fire was
    completely extinguished.

    After the investigation it was revealed that the hot Molten metal spatter got
    splashed from the ladle during the time of shifting from furnace to CCM and
    entered the store room resulting in ignition of the combustible material. It was a
    Class”A” Fire so could be quenched by water as media of extinguishment. After
    interrogation with Mr. Rohan ( Stores Incharge) it was evident that the store room
    was used for storing scrap material such as electrical cable , Hose pipes and
    spares of furnace. Also Mr. Sanjay Kumar Yadav was contacted to know the root
    cause of the fire and he said that it might be from the spatter of hot molten
    matter.

    Recommendation:

    No combustible or flammable material should be stored in and around the


    furnace as well as CCM where the spatters from the hot metal may cause fire .
    The stores should be made up of concrete wall and should not have any openings.
    It should be well ventilated and well lit and should have one emergency exit. No
    inflammable material should kept inside the store. Ensure availability of fire
    extinguisher at the entrance of the stores. Good house keeping should be
    maintained inside the stores. Hot spatter should be contained inside the ladle by
    applying some engineering control. While shifting the hot metal with ladle the
    shift in charge should ensure that the ladle is filled upto 3/4 th of its volume as per
    Factories act 1948. The crane operator should ensure that there should not be
    any jerk or lateral movement of the ladle to prevent the spillage of hot metal. All
    the electrical wiring should be concealed inside the walls to prevent any open
    sparks. No smoking zone to be displayed at the entrance door.

    Conclusion: There was no such damage to life except for property damage which
    is estimated to be of Rs 6000 /- .
