TAMPA Both men killed Thursday at the Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach were using pressure washers moments before lava-like slag gushed out of a tank and burned them, according to preliminary reports released Saturday by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner.

The reports do not list an official cause of death for either man, but both were "covered in slag," the reports said.

Molten slag can reach temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees. Officials for Tampa Electric said workers were trying to unplug the clogged tank when the accident occurred.

Both Michael McCort, 60, a senior plant manager, and Christopher Irvin, 40, a contract employee, died at the scene. Five others were transported to Tampa General Hospital.

Pressure washing is one of two common ways to clean out the inside of a slag tank, said Walter Godfrey, the president of Fire/Reconstruction Consultants Inc. in Cape Canaveral, which investigates fires and explosions.

"It's like using a sandblasting unit, except you're using water instead," he said.

McCort's family declined to speak with reporters. His daughter, Heather McCort, posted on Facebook Saturday morning that her father lost his life "helping others and being a hero."

"The world lost such a wonderful man, husband, grandfather and friend," she wrote.

Irvin's family also declined to speak with a reporter Saturday, saying they were in mourning. Irvin was never married, but was a father to one child and was expecting another, the medical examiner wrote. He worked for Gaffin Industrial Services in Riverview, one of Tampa Electric's contractors at the plant.

In 2007, a Gaffin employee was killed in White Springs while using a power washer to clean the inside of a hot-well tank, according to an investigation by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The worker accidentally clipped his leg with the stream of water, which was so powerful that it cut his femoral artery. Gaffin was fined $35,000.

Four workers injured at the Tampa Electric plant remained in the hospital Saturday with life-threatening burns: Antonio Navarrete, 21, and Armando J. Perez, 56, both of Wimauma; and two Tampa men related by marriage, Frank Lee Jones, 55, and his stepson, Gary Marine Jr., 32.

Marine and Jones worked for Gaffin, like Irvin, the Times reported Friday. Navarrete and Perez worked for BRACE Industrial Group, the Times reported, along with an unidentified fifth worker, who was treated at the hospital and released.

McCort was the only worker who was a Tampa Electric employee.

Family members for the surviving workers could not be reached or declined to comment Saturday.

Tampa Electric spokeswoman Cherie Jacobs said the company could not release new information about the accident Saturday. "This is a very complex investigation and we are unable to provide updates," she said.

Two investigators from OSHA have started an investigation that could last six months.

Report offers glimpse of deadly accident at Tampa Electric power plant - TBO.com

Want your home to look its best? You should consider our professional pressure washing services. By power washing your deck, siding, driveway, and other exterior areas around your home, you can quickly and effectively remove built-up dirt, sediment, and other debris. This not only helps the areas look beautiful, but it can also reduce wear and tear by getting rid of mold, algae, chalk, insects, weeds, and more. Such build-up will, over time, break down and cause damage to wood / masonry and degrade paint / stains.

Other benefits to pressure washing:

You may be tempted to pressure wash your own home, but the truth is it can be a costly, frustrating, and time-consuming endeavor. Most pressure washers cost $100 per day to rent. You will also have to travel to the rental location, stand in line, get the machine ready, clean the machine, refuel the machine, and return it by the deadline. Instead, contact Mr. Handyman, and we will arrive with the machine, as well as all of the other necessary equipment and detergents / degreasers, and expertly clean the area for you.

Pressure Washing Services for Your Home - Mr. Handyman

ELLENDALE Two falls back in 2010 left Jerry Guyer disabled and out of a job. Seven years later, he remains on a limited income and unable to do strenuous work around his home.

When the work needed became too much, he contacted his social working with Delawares Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities who then sent him to Linda Darling of Magnolia.

Since Ms. Darling coordinated the Catholic Heart Work Camp based out of Holy Cross Church in Dover, she knew just how to help Mr. Guyer and his wife Karen.

Soon, two students and a chaperone spent three days at the Guyers home power washing and painting the house, working on the shutters, repairing the propane enclosure and building a handicap ramp on the front deck.

I cant do it anymore. My accident was a life-changing experience for me because I was on the go 18 hours a day, Mr. Guyer said.

His accidents occurred in between two major snow storms when he fell twice on the ice while doing maintenance work. He says he can no longer turn his head, is limited on driving and has a bad knee. He also has a herniated disc in his back and two discs that are torn and leaking.

Im lucky to be able to walk. But Im in chronic pain. The accident affected me physically, mentally and financially, he explained.

The Guyers seemed to come into more luck when the young missionaries from Catholic Heart Work Camp arrived last week.

Theyve just been wonderful. Theyre being very, very precise in what theyre doing, Mr. Guyer said.

Marlee Snyder, 21 of Gilbertsville, Pa., was one of the students to help work on the Guyers home. She was joined by 17-year-old Sydney Bucher of Royersford, Pa. and 70-year-old Ken Reber of Pottstown, Pa.

Ive been wanting to participate more in our parish because its growing and Im young. Kids see youth participating and practice their faith; its good, Ms. Snyder explained.

Ms. Bucher said she felt the same way, explaining, At our school, theres a quote from John Paul, Dont be satisfied with mediocracy. It was a big thing this year. I took it to heart and decided to serve.

Both participants were on their first mission trip, but it wasnt a first for Mr. Reber who said he previously went to the Dominican Republic with his wife years ago. The three came to the Catholic Heart Work Camp from St. Columbkill Catholic Church in Boyerstown, Pa.

Im always looking for where God is leading me, you know, where do you want me to go. Heather [youth group director] requested a chaperone for this trip and I said Id give it a try, Mr. Reber said. I think the enthusiasm of these 164 kids is unbelievable.

The enthusiasm radiated from Dover all the way down to the Guyers home in Ellendale.

Were very blessed to have them here, me and my wife. I sat down in bed and just cried. It gets very depressing that I cant do it, he said. But we help when we can and to be helped in return is an amazing feeling.

Workers that died at TECO power plant were covered in lava-like slag - The Ledger

Kelly Quinby opened a restaurant last year. Now, she's ready to wash your car, wherever you are.

ROCKFORD Three weeks ago, Kelly Quinby became a business owner for the second time in nine months.

Her firstentrepreneurial effort Kell'z Restaurant and Pub is a family-style restaurant at Auburn Street and Central Avenue on Rockford's west side.

Her latest venture A & M Mobile Car Wash Service will show up at your house, your place of work or wherever you and your vehicle happen to be.

If you don't have time to run to the car wash, you can call us up and we'll come to wherever you work and wash your car right there in the parking lot, Quinby said. It's that easy.

Quinby started the business with a $7,000 investment of her own and a micro loan from Rockford Local Development Corp., a nonprofit economic developmentaffiliate of the city that manages a menu of loan programs providing gap financing tobusinesses big and small.The agency'smicro loans are typically offered in amounts between $10,000 and $100,000, thoughRLDCcloses perhaps half a dozen micro loans for projects like Quinby's which require only a few thousand dollars.

Kelly is very entrepreneurial and she has an interesting business plan," said RLDC director John Phelps. "This was a fairly small loan from our standpoint, but I decided to take a risk with them on a new concept, knowing that we couldn't lose a lot and it's an opportunity to establish a business that may have some real growth potential and hire quite a few people."

Quinby's startup capital was enough to buy a used truck, a flatbed trailer big enough to tote a 300-gallon water tank and a pressure wash system. She made a few cold calls to businesses she thought could benefit from an on-the-go car wash service an insurance company, a couple of office buildings and several new and used car dealerships in the Rockford area.

We washed 600 cars in the first week, said Quinby's boyfriend, Mike Ortiz, who along with a handful of other employees washes the cars. "Within a week or two, we'll easily be washing 1,000 cars or more."

Quinby said she's already making plans to buy a second truck and additional equipment and to take on a few more workers. Quinby is the owner and president of the car wash business. Her son, Austin Edwards, is vice president.

It's been incredible, she said. I think it's going to grow very fast. I think sky's the limit.

A & M Mobile Car Wash Service charges $25 to $40, depending on the size of the vehicle,for abasic wash and dry job, which includes an interior vacuum and a wipe-down of the dashboard. For $99, the customer can choose either a more thorough interior detail or an exterior detail. The interior makeover includes a vinyl, leather and plastic cleaning and treatment anda carpet shampoo and fabric extraction. The exterior detail includes clay barring, tar removal, iron and brake dust decontamination, tire dressing and application of a sealant to protectthe paint, glass and wheels. A combo interior and exterior detail jobruns $169. The company also provides headlight lamp restoration to make the foggy glass clear again for $75.

The U.S. car wash and auto detailing business is a $10 billion a year industry that's growing 3.1 percent annually, according to a market research report published in December by IBISWorld. But the industry is incredibly fragmented, with the 50 largest companies owning less than 20 percent of the market combined.

Mobile car wash services aren't new a quick Google search revealed at least one other such business operating in Rockford. They've been operating for yearsinlarger cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Orlando, and the idea is catching on elsewhere as Americans grow comfortable with on-demand services that make everyday chores such as hailing a taxi or buying groceries as simple as tapping an app on your cellphone.

The on-demand economy is attracting more than 22.4 million consumers annually and $57.6 billion in spending, according to a 2015 National Technology Readiness Survey. The largest categories of on-demand spending are online marketplaces such as Ebay and Etsy, followed by transportation services such as Uber and Lyft. Mobile car wash services may not be far behind. Quinby's business doesn't have a mobile app to allow customers to order a car wash with their cell phone, but she says one will be coming.

"It does make things very convenient," said Nick Shutkis, owner of Windsor Auto Sales in Loves Park and one of Quinby's first customers. "I've got 80 to 90 cars on this lot and if it rains or the cars get a little dirty, they need a quick wash. They do a nice job."

Afast and a cost effective way to brighten up the look and enhance the value of your property!

The very first impression that a visitor forms about your property is based on the appearance of the exterior. Most home and business owners truly appreciate the value of great architecture and well-manicured landscaping. Often however Owners give little consideration to the proper cleaning and maintenance of their exterior siding, gutters, exterior wood, masonry and concrete.

Maybe the front steps are covered with moss; the concrete walk and driveway is discolored grey or black; the gutters have overflowed and left stains; the siding is covered with unsightly spider webs, mold & mildew. What about the awful looking wooden deck, dock or fence? Remember visitors will always take notice of these unsightly conditions and form their first impression based on them.

Unfortunately, these areas become dirty and dingy so slowly that they may not be noticed by someone who sees them on a day-to-day basis. After reading this web page you will probably start to notice what others have been seeing all along when visiting your property.

We want to help make sure that your first impression is a great one! At Handyman Solutions our state of the art equipment, and gentle power washingtechniques, allow usto achieve excellent results without using excessive force to clean and seal most exterior surfaces. The typical response when an owner sees what has been professionally pressure washedand sealed is:

Oh my Goodness! I had no idea it could look this good! I will have to tell all my friends about you!

Our state of the art equipment, and gentle cleaning techniques, allow us to achieve excellent results without using excessive and damaging force to clean your home.

Building exteriors are the most common thing that people think about when someone mentions pressure washing. Thats because that is where mold and mildew develop the quickest, and is the most visible from the street. Even maintenance free exteriors like vinyl siding will often develop unsightly mold and mildew every year or so. Handyman Solutions will use a special mixture of detergents and high-tech equipment to clean your home at low pressures without water intrusion or damage to your plants.

The black streaks, or haze that form on your exterior gutters are from pollution. There is no way to prevent these black streaks from forming, but you can slow the process down by keeping your gutters clean. These streaks are very difficult to remove, and the chemicals required to remove them successfully are not available to the general public.

Fortunately, a regular power washingby Handyman Solutions will remove them. However, if you have ignored your gutters so long they are already a consistent shade of gray be aware that your first cleaning may require tedious and expensive hand scrubbing to look new again.

Over a period of years, your new driveway will fade from a bright white to a dingy blackish color. This darkening is a combination of mildew, auto exhaust, and tire rubber and grime. This built up grime causes no damage to your drive and can be left alone without worry. However, cleaning a driveway has a dramatic effect on the curb appeal of a home and should be seriously considered if your home is up for sale or soon will be.

Pressure washing wood without causing damage takes skill, experience, and the right tools. The last place to learn how to use a pressure washer is on your wood deck. If you have no experience working with a pressure washer, you can do a great deal of damage quickly. Professional deck restoration is not cheap, but if you consider the cost of lumber in todays marketplace and the years it adds to the life of your deck it is a tremendous value.

Superior customer service, with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, is the hallmark of Handyman Solutions. This is what truly sets us apart from the competition and will remain our highest priority.

The driveway, sidewalk, and brick patio all need maintenance. Pressure or power washing can strip driveways and garage floors of oil and grease. Prevent a fall by power washing the mildew and grime off your sidewalk or brick patio. But the main reason to power clean your driveways and sidewalks is to prevent cracking. Moss can actually leave small impressions in your driveway or sidewalk, and eventually water and the changing temperature can aggravate the damage into a significant crack.

This excess water collects around the house and whittle cracks into your foundation. Clean them, it saves thousands of dollars. You could clean your gutters traditionally, or pressure washing helps make the job easier.

Who would have thought that such small things could cause so much damage to your home? This is why regular maintenance is so essential for your wallet. When youre done, you will not only be satisfied to be saving money on repairs, but you will be surprised by the difference in the look and feel of your home.
