## Narrative

While operating a torch cutting metal on the 4th level, the workmen ignited a small methane bleeder in the concrete wall 7 feet above the floor level.  The flame was approx. 2 inches in length, burned 5 to 7 seconds, and was extinguished by using a gloved finger to smother out the flame.
