Another Insulation Fire With Dramatic Rescue

Post by Messy »

A building site fire involving insulation on a roof leads to a roofer hanging on to a crane hook to reach a place of safety in Denmark

With most of my last week being taken up with this subject, I wonder what insulation product this was?

From Google Translate:
The fire started as the roof was laying on the building, and the flames spread out quickly, as flamingo and insulation flames also burned. It sent a bullet smoke column to the sky that could be seen several kilometers away.
Two craftsmen working on the roof of the building were caught by the high flames. One managed to jump one floor down and get away while the other construction worker was caught on the roof. As the picture shows at the top, he had to keep the flames at bay by using a chipboard as a shield.
