Narrative

An employee was pulling water/fluid from a frac tank when he noticed a leak on a neighboring tank. He tried to stop the leak by hitting the valve with an end cap he found on the ground. When the cap hit the valve, it sparked and caused a flash fire. He suffered burns to his face, chest, and hands.
