My Experiences:
I was working with a explosives and accessories manufacturing company near Hyderabad. I was the works in charge.
There are specially licenced vehicles to transport these items. Generally the buyer will send his vehicle and collect the material after submitting all required documents. On the day of this incident, a buyer sent his vehicle. As usual materials were loaded and vehicle left the unit with all required papers. After about 30 minutes I received a call from CI of Police from near by town saying that explosive van left our factory was emitting smoke and the driver stopped the vehicle opposite to railway station and ran away. He asked me to reach there immediately. It will take about 20 minutes to reach that place from our site. I know that if the explosives are under fire with in seconds they will explode. If really it was an explosive caught fire by the time I reach there everything will be over. I will be under police. I reached the site. The vehicle was opposite to railway station. Slightly smoke is coming. One kilometer each side traffic was stopped. After observing the van and smoke I decided I will go near the van and observe. I have taken permission from CI and I asked everyone to remain away only. I went near the van and observed that the smoke is from the bottom of the van. I just gone down and seen that a cardboard sheet kept opposite to silencer is burning and it is emitting smoke. I called a person and asked him to take out that sheet. He removed it. Automatically smoke from under the van stopped Generally these drivers after reaching our site, before allowing them inside they will spread cardboard sheet on the ground and sleep there. This driver kept that sheet opposite silencer. The sparks coming out from the silencer touched the card board and it started burning. A very big relief. The van was moved to a nearby vacant place. Traffic regularised. I asked our people to open the van and observed that everything was intact. The material was unloaded fully and inspected and re loaded and despatched. Almost all this exercise taken 3 hours. Then I started back to my unit. While going back I received a call from the Director of the company and asking me whether any help is required. I have briefed him the total episode.
