Narrative

I.E. was operating a 3.5 scoop, hauling supplies to the J-Mains development section. The I.E. noticed the smell of antifreeze and stopped to investigate. The radiator cap was not seated properly and the I.E. reached up to tighten the cap properly. As soon as the I.E. grabbed the cap, it blew off and hot steam/antifreeze burned the left forearm
