A fire has broken out at Buckley Space Base in Colorado, CBS reports.
The television station reported that flames were spotted on the morning of March 29 at the west end of the base near the intersection of East Mississippi Avenue and Ceylon Street.
“The fire appears to have started just north of a small solar system and near the perimeter fence,“ the media outlet said.
About an hour later, the fire department announced that the fire no longer posed a threat.
Last October, an explosion occurred at the Accurate Energetic Systems facility in Tennessee. The plant produced explosives, including for the Pentagon and the Ukrainian armed forces.
First responders who arrived at the scene were initially forced to stay at a safe distance due to the risk of secondary explosions.
More than 300 people later searched “almost every square inch” of the facility, but found none of the 18 missing.
