Breitet sich der abgedeckte Schwelbrand bis an eine
Oberfläche aus, kann er sich dort durch die Sauerstoffzufuhr
schnell zu einem offenen Feuer entwickeln,
das die gesamte Maschine zerstört. Unter
bestimmten Voraussetzungen kann es sogar zu
einer Explosion kommen.

See, for example,

"The main fire was brought under control within 40 minutes of the Fire Department’s arrival, however units remained on the scene for about two hours to perform salvage operations and open walls to expose any <B>concealed, smoldering fire</B>."
That said, I think that a "Schwelbrand" is "abgedeckt" by definition so "concealed" might be superfluous.
