Narrative

Two miners were in the fab shop making a repair on a WA700 Hydraulic Tank. One began to weld with left arm inside the cylinder, while the other held a flashlight above with right hand. The second weld immediately caused the cylinder to ignite causing a full flame blast up other EE's arm. It also engulfed EE's hand.
