A fire with heavy smoke release that broke out in an oil mill reached a 1,600 sq.m flat silo and an 800-tonne stockpile of grape oil seed. This incident was due to product fermentation caused by excessive humidity (the roof seal had been compromised). Firefighters removed the unburned half of oil seed in order to prevent flames from spreading before extinguishing the blaze. The Classified Facilities Inspectorate proposed that the local authority issue an official notification mandating roof seal improvements, installation of temperature probes along the walls, and removal of all equipment not essential to silo operations to allow for a thorough cleaning of the facility.
