A fire broke out at a Titan II missile silo in Searcy, Arkansas in 1965. An investigation found that a welder was working in the silo and accidentally caused a fire when his welding rod came into contact with a hydraulic fluid line. The fire spread uncontrollably due to prohibited items like cigarettes and lighters being present in the work area in violation of safety protocols. Following safety instructions, being aware of emergency exits, and enforcing safety rules can help avoid accidents at dangerous work sites.
