## Narrative

While trimming a steel door underneath the shovel with an oxy-acetylene torch, his Tyvek coveralls caught fire burning him on the face, neck and arm.  When he was seen by a medical professional, about 2.5 hours later, the doctor was concerned about the possibility of injury to his respiratory tract and arranged air transportation to a regional burn center.
