Narrative

While attempting to blow out debris from the direct burn line fuel splashed out onto my PPE and unknowingly on my boots. After a couple of hours my foot was tingling and would not stop. I pulled off my boot and noticed material had soaked through my boot to my sock. Pulled off sock found that it made contact with my foot, causing chemical burn.
