On June 14, 2021, a major industrial fire occurred at the Chemtool Incorporated manufacturing plant in Rockton, Illinois (United States). The accident started during maintenance work on heat transfer piping, when a scissor lift struck a valve and released mineral oils, triggering a chemical fire.

The fire lasted four days, caused serious disruption, and led to injuries among emergency responders. Despite multiple containment attempts, including shutting down the boiler and deploying industrial firefighting crews, the incident demonstrated how a small operational error can escalate into a large-scale industrial disaster.

This case highlights the importance of fire detection systems, fire suppression technologies, and preventive risk management in oil, gas, and chemical industries. Companies operating in critical infrastructure must invest in predictive fire detection, certified suppression systems, and real-time monitoring solutions to avoid similar accidents.
