An Army disaster where the damage is over USD $2,000, 000 or more is classed as an accident class A incident. So an accidental fire that caused USD $1.5 million worth of damage to a hangar would be classed under this category.
Under United States Army regulations, any accident that results in a fatal injury to any personnel is classified as Accident Class A.
