Faulty Wiring Blamed For Machinery Fire

Unalaska Dept. of Public Safety

A piece of heavy equipment started on fire Tuesday at the OSI facility on Captains Bay Road.

According to Deputy Police Chief Jennifer Shockley, smoke was billowing from several bay doors of an OSI warehouse when firefighters arrived.

Within ten minutes, firefighters - many of them volunteers, said Shockley - put out the fire, which was limited to the cab of a loader.

An investigation pointed to a faulty ignition switch on the $50,000 dollar loader as the fire's cause. No one was injured.
