Narrative

On April 15, 2020, an employee was using an ethanol filter to make sanitizer. As the employee was using a pump to filter ethanol from one 5-gallon bucket (through tubing and a charcoal filter) to another, the ethanol started to spray out and immediately caught fire. The employee suffered second-degree burns to the face, hands, and arms.
