On September 5, 2024, the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) responded to a vehicle fire at Clear Spring Ranch near the Ray Nixon and Front Range Power Plants. Investigators determined the fire was accidental, caused by welding equipment, which likely produced a loud explosion-like sound. Multiple agencies, including Fountain Fire and Security Fire, quickly arrived to handle the incident.

The incident involved an outside contracted employee of Colorado Springs Utilities, who was seriously injured and airlifted to a Denver hospital. The utility company stated that they contract this company to maintain heavy equipment and large trucks that move materials such as ash and coal at the site.

While the incident generated significant noise, neither the Ray Nixon nor Front Range power plants were affected, and no other workers were injured, nor was any infrastructure damaged.

The estimated financial losses from this incident are around $500,000 to $1 million, primarily due to equipment damage and medical expenses. To prevent similar occurrences in the future, relevant departments are considering enhanced safety regulations and training for welding operations to ensure all staff adhere to safety protocols.

Meanwhile, Planck Vision Systems’ advanced thermal imaging technology can provide continuous monitoring for similar facilities, detecting minute temperature variations to ensure system protection and operational excellence.

This always-on technology can catch every anomaly in a timely manner, minimizing risks and preempting system failures and potential threats.
