Narrative
On october 30, 2013 contract personnel were preparing to cut out a 4' long section of 10' pipe which had been drained and isolated the previous day. Drain pans were placed under the pipe to capture any residual gasoline remaining in the isolated section. While rolling the pipe out of place, the pipe contacted the pan and caused some of the collected residual gasoline in the pan to spill to the ground. After removing the pipe, a pipe support was cut out. Sparks and slag from the removal process contacted the ground causing a very small fire on the ground where product had not been cleaned. This fire was immediately extinguished with the onsite portable fire extinguisher. Approximately 1 drum of contaminated soil was excavated and removed for disposal.
