Narrative

On or about 2/12/2015, an employee working for Ingram Barge Company at 78 Riverside Drive in Columbus, Kentucky, was hospitalized for burns to his left side, from his armpit to his waist. The burns resulted when a spark from welding underneath a barge on the dry dock went under his leather welding jacket and caught his shirt on fire.
