| A transformer explosion exposed the Petro-Pipe to more than three hours of fire before the fire was extinguished. |

 |
| The flanged Petro-Pipe is shown after the fire is extinguished. On the left there are two holes drilled through the concrete into the oil containment basin for water drainage; this is where burning oil entered the sump. |
The Petro-Pipe housing is hammered out of the concrete; the flanges are melted and fused together. |

 |
Despite extreme conditions, no oil was released into the concrete area, shown here after Petro-Pipe removal.
|
The Petro-Pipe flanges melted and fused together, preventing any oil from escaping. |
