WPS Pullman Plant
Green Bay
The Green Bay Fire Dept. responded to a
call at the WPS Pulliam Plant. A large transformer containing about 100 gallons
of oil shorted out and the insulators exploded, causing oil
to escape from the bushing on the top and burn. The sprinkler
system surrounding the body of the transformer activated and
cooled the transformer. As the transformer cooled, the fire
subsided. "Another ‘save’ for sprinkler systems,” said
Battalion Chief Dan Truckey.
