## Narrative

EE was using a torch to cut an opening in steel above EE. Either the flame from the torch or a piece of slag created an opening in the hydraulic line, which began spraying oil and caught fire. When EE turned away the flame/fire entered EE's welding shield. EE then jumped down from where they were working and caused pain in the right foot after landing.
