Narrative

EE was cutting holes in a piece of metal for bolts to go through with an oxy/acet torch. The EE tried to pull the gas hoses closer to him and they got caught on a piece of metal. He tugged at the lines and the torch fell from his hands. When the torch fell, it turned and burned his left forearm and wrist, causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns.
