Fire in confined space incident

An interesting incident of a fire in a confined space in a ship has lessons for us in the Chemical industry. In this incident a technician was trying to use a cleaner spray to remove moisture from a junction box in a confined space. To speed up the process of drying, he then decided to use a heat gum. The moment the gun was switched on, the flammable vapours of the cleaner caught fire. Dont take anything for granted.
