On coal fires ~ try being the fire officer like I was in a coal fired power station where bunker fires are just par for the course we had other bigger nasties to worry about apart from the H2S & CO gasses being ERT its like what happens if a Turbine gets out of shape like one did years ago and decides to break apart you have @120 tonnes of steel doing 3000rpm, red hot oil, used hydrogen gas to cool the generating end, steam at 300 degrees celcius at 20 atmospheres each boiler in C&D of which there were 8 held 90 tonnes of steam each if a catastrophic failure happened in one then the 90 tonnes of steam would increase 1,500 times x volume pretty much instantaneously.
So I doubt where our emergency shed which was about 700M from the boiler would have survived I think we would have all been toasted.

Google power station failures and appreciate what goes or can go bang in a power station makes you appreciate the light one other our turbine operators were bound to stay in that control room if a turbine got loose no matter what they could not leave meaning they like my ERT team were bound to open up Pandora's box to hell after 3 years of that thank goodness I am now in a fairly safe sedentary job pushing a mouse.....
