What to do in case of a fire breaks out while emptying and cleaning a fire tank
Thread Content
A company halted production for maintenance, emptied its fire tank and cleaned out the accumulated dirt. The next morning, a fire broke out; power was lost, and the backup power supply was activated, but there was no water in the fire tank, so no fire-fighting water was available. May I ask how to avoid a fire situation with no water available when the fire tank is emptied?
Is there no backup? If not, reduce the cleaning time. Also, since production has stopped, avoid using fire; add water after cleaning before resuming any fire-related work
1. If this needs to be cleaned, it is necessary to coordinate with the local fire department, asking them to ensure an adequate supply of emergency water and foam. 2. Choose an appropriate time for cleaning; for example, other high-risk operations should be suspended during cleaning, such as operations involving access panels on towers, as these areas are prone to spontaneous combustion of ferrous sulfide. 3. Additionally, it is necessary to shorten the maintenance time, prepare emergency plans, and ensure proper staffing to keep things on schedule.
