Lessons Learned - Fire Extinguisher Placement Delayed Firefighting Efforts in an Aircraft Maintenance Area
Year: 1993
Abstract: Description of Driving Event:
Two aircraft maintenance personnel were preparing a test run on engine No.2 of a NASA turboprop aircraft at Ellington Field. During the bleeding of air from the engine fuel system, a flash fire occurred. One worker jumped from a ladder and injured his left heel. The other worker burned his hand while attempting to combat the fire. Additional personnel responded to the scene and extinguished the fire with portable fire extinguishers. An investigation of the incident noted the placement of the extinguishers approximately 150 feet from the aircraft. NFPA code recommends placement of no further than 50 feet. Investigators recommended placing the extinguishers within NFPA maximum allowable distances.
