Narrative
A small flash (1-2 inch high) fire under the tank floor occurred during 653 maintenance work on tank 1211 at martinsville. All procedures were followed properly. Lels were being monitored within inches of the torch cutting site before the flash fire and following the incident with no lels found. The fire self-extinguished immediately and a plan was developed to mitigate recurrence. Phmsa requested the "estimated volume of commodity unintentionally released" be update from 0 to the minimum amount of .1 barrels.
