Narrative

On June 22, 2020, at 10:50 AM, an employee was installing a fuel sender in a 31-foot boat's fuel tank. As he connected the fuel sender wires, a spark was created and ignited the fuel vapors. The vapors exploded and then caught on fire, burning the employee. He jumped down from the boat and other employees ran over to put out the fire. He was hospitalized with third degree burns on his hands and a concussion.
