A forklift hit a diesel fuel pipe and caused a fire at the facility.
Upon arrival of firefighters at the scene, the BAZN factory emergency team was immediately contacted. An initial inspection conducted at the scene revealed that a forklift had hit one of the diesel pump pipes in one of the facilities in the complex. As a result of the impact, a strong stream of hot, heavy diesel fuel erupted, and a spark was created that caused a fire to start at the scene. The initial report that reached Hotline 102 was about black smoke that was observed rising from the area of the complex, following which seven fire crews from the Krayot station were dispatched to the scene.
Integrated firefighting operations brought the incident under rapid control.
The firefighters worked in conjunction with the BAZN factory emergency team and carried out active extinguishing and cooling operations in the affected area. In addition, the automatic sprinkler systems (sprinklers) at the scene were activated and assisted in the extinguishing and cooling efforts. The incident was relatively quickly brought under control. According to the report, there were no casualties, there is no danger of a leak of hazardous materials, and there is no need to monitor the area.
Already in 2022, when Petrochemicals received the Bazan control permit from Lapid and Lieberman, we understood the situation. 🤦🏼♂️
