Buncefield revisited (Industrial Fire Journal)

Door: Michel van der Togt

"Buncefield has to be seen as a major success. The HSE Buncefield Investigation report confirms that over 37 million litres of fuel were salvaged despite the fire burning forover 60 hours. This is almost 40% of the product that was stored on-site.

Who would have thought that in such a large explosion and fire that nobody would be killed or seriously injured? This is a real credit to the Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service who led the response and the other regional and industrial responders who gave their invaluable support."
