Narrative

An employee was inside a scissor lift bucket when the scissor lift hit a powerline, causing the live wire to break, fall to the bucket, and ignite the lift. The flames traveled to the lift arm, causing the bucket to give way. When the bucket gave way, it crashed into a pole that was live, causing an explosion that ignited the employee's clothing and propelled the employee out of the bucket. The employee suffered burns.
