3-Alarm fire in Aurora, 3-2-21

On March 2, 2021, at 6:58 a.m., the Aurora Fire Department received multiple emergency calls from witnesses reporting smoke coming from a house in the 200 block of West Downer Place. A Box Alarm was immediately dispatched, consisting of two engine companies, one truck company, two battalion chiefs, and a paramedic unit. As more firefighters arrived, they could see thick smoke rising in the distance and quickly requested a second alarm due to the growing intensity of the fire. Upon arrival, firefighters found a 3.5-story wood-frame multi-unit building engulfed in heavy flames and smoke. Initial reports indicated that someone might be trapped on an upper floor. Engine crews quickly deployed hose lines to begin extinguishing the fire, while the truck company entered the structure to conduct a search for victims. However, as the situation escalated, the alarm was upgraded to a third, indicating the severity of the blaze. The fire spread rapidly through the balloon-frame construction, making it extremely difficult to control. Firefighters had to fight the flames from all levels, encountering intense heat and dangerous conditions. Despite their efforts, no victims were found inside, and it was later confirmed that the building was vacant and up for sale. Firefighters spent over two and a half hours battling the fire, with several interior crews evacuated due to the risk. A defensive exterior attack was then initiated. The cold weather and icy conditions around the building also posed additional hazards, causing a few firefighters to slip and fall. A total of 40 firefighters responded to the call. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among civilians or responders. The building was declared uninhabitable, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. This incident highlights the challenges firefighters face when dealing with large-scale structure fires, especially in older buildings with complex construction methods.

Wear Resistant Lining Elbow

Wear Resistant Lining Elbows are designed to handle extreme wear and are capable of working in the most demanding environments.

HP hardfacing elbows can be for common applications include dredging, slurry pumps, chutes, suction lines, carbon injection, air ducts and troughs.

Weld overlay cladding is a process that provides protection for metallic components by welding a layer of abrasion-resistant alloy to areas at risk of wear. It can be applied to an entire component, or only to specific areas of concern. Typical components clad by HP Welding include pipes, valves, flanges, connectors, and elbows, as well as more complex geometries such as tee pieces and wye pieces.

Typical materials for cladding in common use at HP Welding include HP700, HP700S, HP750X, HP750P and stainless steels, as well as many less common alloys.

With over 30 years of experience on the production of hardfacing products, and the technical expertise to back them up, HP Welding can meet any base material and cladding combination.

The advantages of HP Wear Resistant Lining Elbow

1. Flat surface and nice appearance

2. Good weldability to others working pieces

3. Excellent wear resistance

HP Wear Resistant Lining Elbow can be widely applied to mining site, cement plant, metallurgical equipment, dredging and power generation and any other fields where need to combat with abrasion.
