PLEASANT A smokey fire caused considerable damage to plumbing and equipment at the Picadilly Processing Plant Monday, July 22 after fuel being put in a steam cleaner ignited, according to Fire Chief Chesley Christensen. Why the fuel ignited is not known, however, Christensen said. The steam cleaner hadnt been used according to Picadilly employees and was not hot, but it had an electric element and its possible that the element or a nearby hot water heater may have ignited the fuel, he said. The fire was confined to the north east room at the plant where the steam cleaner and water tank were located. This equipment plus a water softener, pipes and big pump were all burned in the fire. Burlap potato sacks and grease were also stored in the room and added to the greasy smoke. Volunteer firemen removed the smoldering materials from the building. Christensen said until the equipment can be replaced the plant will not be able to operate. No estimate was placed on the value of the equipment or the damage to the room. Christensen said there wasnt much smoke damage in the rest of the plant but that some clean up would be required. The fire was reported at 12:20 p.m. to the Sanpete Sheriffs office. There was a delay in reporting the fire because no one answered the city fire phone, Christensen said. Three trucks, one city electricians truck and eight volunteers arrived on the scene at 1 2 : 35 and the fire was extinguished by 1:20 p.m. One fireman was overcome by smoke but did not require medical attention.
