Narrative

An employee was dispatched to an oil and gas weld site to pick up produced water. When he made it to the worksite, he set his truck in position, connected the hose, and engaged the vacuum pump. A fire then occurred, causing second and third degree burns to both of his arms and part of his torso, as well as minor burns to his neck, face, and ear.
