No one was injured after a forging furnace
exploded at about 8:15 a.m. today at Goltra Castings, a
manufacturing company that mass produces metal fixtures at 501
McIntyre St. in Golden. The cause of the explosion has not yet been
determined, but it blew metal shavings into an air filtering system
which caused a fire.
The filtering system is comprised of
roughly 50 large cylinders that are double lined with paper
elements. The metal shavings from the furnace explosion caught
those paper elements on fire. The Golden Fire Department was able
to quickly extinguish the open flames and contain the smoldering
within the filtering system, but dark smoke was visible coming from
the building. Once the on-scene fire crews had finished putting the
fire out, firefighters began ventilating the smoke out of the
building.
More than a dozen employees were inside
the building when the explosion occurred, but on Golden
Fire’s arrival on the scene, the company’s management
reported it had evacuated the building and accounted for all of its
employees. No injuries were reported.
No nearby homes or business were in any
danger and none were evacuated.
