Big Laser Rebuild -
On 8/12/19 a fire started in the Big Laser Cutter. Fortunately, the fire was contained to the Big Laser itself. No one was injured, though there was a lot of nasty smoke in the building.
The fire did cause a lot of damage to the Big Laser and made a mess of FabLab. It could have been a lot worse.
Things we need to do -
1) After Action Review to assess the cause and response to the fire.
2) Safety Review to assure Hive13 Members are as safe as we need to be.
a. What do we need to do? Training, Equipment
3) Clean-Up – Note: This is a very time consuming step because the crud is tough to get off.
a. Vacuum up the Dry Chem from the Fire Extinguisher.
b. Clean off soot and burnt plastic.
c. Clean Fab Lab to remove residue
d. Clear workspace around the Big Laser: Move PC, Cooler and plastic material
4) Separate the Small Laser from the Big Laser – Move it away from the Big Laser.
