Fire at Sand Point Trident plant halts operations, leaves locals without fuel
Maggie Nelson.
Sand Point is without access to fuel after a fire broke out at the local Trident Seafoods plant.
The fire started early Thursday morning, pausing the processor’s operations, including its fuel sales, which the small eastern Aleutian community relies on.
Sand Point Police Chief Benjamin Allen said the lack of fuel is the biggest concern at the moment.
“Nobody can get gas right now,” Allen said. “[Trident] has to get clearance from the Coast Guard before they can start the gas pumps back up again.”
Allen said he doesn’t know how long that will take, but Trident has been working to get things going again.
“During the incident, their generator threw a connecting rod out the side of the engine block and it ruptured the fuel line to the generator,” Allen said. “And there was a good bit of diesel on the surface of the water that Trident’s been cleaning up.”
The small fire started in the generator room of the facility around 1 a.m. Thursday, according to Trident’s Vice President of Global Communications Alexis Telfer.
