Narrative

EE was poking the 2nd Hearth of the #1 Roaster with an air lance. He noticed the hose had an air leak. He reached out to turn the air off to the lance & in doing so the lance got caught in the roaster by the arm. EE pulled sharply on the lance & it freed. After some time he noticed some soreness in his back. EE sneezed & felt a pop in his back with pain. EE sustained strain.
