## Narrative

On Thursday Jan 11th, 2024, a mill employee of 2 years and 11 months of experience went to check on CBE 74 by the tunnels at 03:00am. When the employee entered the door to the drier building, a gush of high wind pushed the door getting their fourth finger on the right hand slammed between the door frame and the door.
