CRAWLEY, Judge.
In April 1992, James Thompson and Toney Bentley, Anniston Fire Department firefighters, responded to a fire call made by FMC Corporation. The fire at FMC’s facility was caused by the ignition of a flammable fluid by welding sparks. The building in which the fire started housed fluid storage tanks filled with EDM fluid, which is also known as Norpar 15. In addition, other chemicals and solvents were stored in different areas of the building. According to the firefighters on the scene, the fire produced a dark black smoke and was extremely hot.
