But I may be wrong.
Cause of that fire was a hydraulic leak from manufacturing equipment, igniting and somehow a huge fire got started. But this is all from my very bad memory.
Also one of the reasons for the new automatic shut-off safety standards for hydraulic systems over 100 gal. so you don't have a continuous flamethrower if the fluid does ignite. I watched a safety video of a hydraulic system that had a flame shooting out about 30'. We switched all of our systems over to non-flammable non-petroleum systems a while back.
