Description

This action is brought by plaintiffs against Luckenbach, Atlantic and Muehlstein for the alleged negligent injury to property arising out of a fire and explosion that occurred upon a pier at the foot of 35th Street, Brooklyn, New York City. Defendant Luckenbach, which operated the pier, entered into a contract with defendant Atlantic, under which the latter was to repair Luckenbach's cargo-handling equipment affixed to the north side of the pier. In the course of its work under such contract, Atlantic operated oxyacetylene torches in the vicinity of a variety of combustible, inflammable and explosive shipments, including Cordeau detonating fuse or Primacord containing explosives. Sparks from the torch are alleged to have ignited rubber scrap and the fire spread to the Primacord which exploded. The rubber scrap, which was delivered by Muehlstein about a month before the fire and placed by Luckenbach on the north side of the pier, is claimed to have been so insecurely packed in the burlap bags that the stevedores refused to load it and some of it spilled out of the bags and scattered loosely around the pier deck.
