| Employees, firefighters praised for fast response to ... - Evansville Courier-Press Posted: 14 Mar 2010 07:05 PM PDT Sparks ignited paint residue on a floor at Guardian Automotive, touching off a brief flash fire this morning that triggered a two alarm response from the Evansville Fire Department. But Fire Investigator Richard Howard said a quick and correct response from both company employees and firefighters minimized damage. "The initial call said multiple EMS (emergency medical) were needed and of course that really gets firefighters' attention when you hear something like that," Howard said. "But it turned out they didn't need EMS." Nobody was injured in the incident. He said two maintenance workers were welding on equipment in a robot-operated paint booth when their sparks ignited the paint residue. The fire was reported at 10:04 a.m. Guardian Automotive is located at 601 N. Congress Ave. behind Eastland Mall. "It was a flash fire. It was just one of those things," Howard said. "The two guys used a fire extinguisher to try to put it out. A sprinkler head did operate and the fire was suppressed probably before firefighters could get to it." While there was some concern that chemicals and other materials involved with the painting operation might have posed a hazard, that turned out not to be a problem. "There was no unintended release of any material," Howard said. All of the employees were temporarily evacuated and the fire caused a brief shutdown of Virgina Street and Congress Avenue. "The plant's people said they were very happy with the way their employees responded and the response from the fire department," Howard said. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
