Problem

Thermal event in Jaffrey Dryer #2 on March 28 resulted in fire-suppression activation, partial panel melt, and 6 days of lost production before temporary containment. Insurance-documented damages total $210k; additional $70k required for fire-code remediation per state fire marshal inspection.

Proposed solution

Replace Dryer #2 center panel assembly and wiring harness (OEM), upgrade fire suppression system to meet revised NFPA 654 requirements, engage third-party audit for combustible dust program, and complete state fire marshal re-inspection before restart.

State fire marshal inspection scheduled for April 30. Need the remediation scope finalized by April 25 to hit that date.
