FP&L Substation Explosion
This is a video of the 2001 explosion of a Florida Power and Light (FP&L) transformer at Ives Dairy Substation in Miami, Florida.The incident starts with a ground fault in a defective fuse holder producing an arcing fault which results in the mineral oil in the transformer boiling and evaporating. The evaporated mineral oil ignites creating a fireball that destroys the substation.

What if this was located where it could place a home or building in danger? What are the options for suppressing this type of fire or protecting adjacent buildings?
