ALLFIREDUPTODAY

Back at work after more than two months, and not just another day at work.
It was huge, a rollover in a two vehicle collision, then straight on to this.
A small fire in a factory, but a very unusual fire, it's aluminium dust.
We had to remove it from the building a small amount at a time, then transfer it into these trolleys so we could flood it, with water.
Water is not the best way to treat this ( in fact well down the list) but the best available today.

This pic is of the reaction as we put a shovel load of the dust into the trolley, the movement aerates the dust allowing it to burn fiercly, when in the trolley we gently cover it with water, trying not to disturb it any more.
