    Written by Sandy Williams


    A small fire at Clairton Coke Works on Monday caused no environmental damage in the Mon Valley area, confirmed U.S. Steel and the Allegheny County Health Department.

    U.S. Steel said that the fire was the result of an electric arc flash on a breaker panel that provides power to Control Room #1 equipment. The fire was quickly put out and the U.S. Steel fire team extinguished the smoldering breaker and secured the area.
