Abstract:

A fire at NASA John C. Stennis Space Center occurred in an area that was undergoing asbestos abatement. The direct cost of damage from this mishap has been estimated at $376,000 and was classified as a Type B Mishap, IRIS Safety Incident #2008-075-00002. An Events and Causal Factors (E&CF) Tree was generated and the primary proximate cause was determined to be an undersized extension cord that was improperly routed and energized, in the presence of fuel sources and adequate oxygen. Three Root Causes and two Contributing Factors were identified, resulting in three Recommended Corrective Actions.
