Narrative

An employee was hooking up propane lines for heat at a construction site when propane spewed from the lines, covering the employee's hands. Another line then flared, flashing back at the employee and causing minor burns to the head. The employee's hand suffered frostbite from the propane, requiring hospitalization.
