    Naw, someone failed procedure and didn’t turn on one or more fans. They probably should have told the director, she could have turned the fan on.

      Which is both an incompetence and a facility problem in this case.

      Systems like fans when an incinerator is active shouldn’t rely on a human to flip switch. This should be automatic or there should be a lockout system that prevents the incinerator from operating if certain conditions are not first met.

        Maybe, I’m not sure how the things work. It’s entirely possible that it uses 150% more energy due to heat loss when the exhaust is on so there’s a procedure in place to pre-heat without ventilation and then use the fan for each incineration, returning to an idle state in between each.
