Accident type, without injuries

When the operator, using a torch, attempted to burn an opening to install an idler on the conveyor belt, the flame apparently ignited soot build-up under the conveyor's rain hood from an oil burner that was used to heat the feed hopper. The flame then spread to a second conveyor. It appears both conveyors are destroyed as a result of the fire. Fire extinguished in 30-45 minutes.
