## Narrative

At about 7:44 p.m., a group of employees were looking for the cause of a smoke-like smell. They traced the scent to the top of a seed house, where they found black areas in the cotton and on the wall around a bale motor. When the motor was turned off, the fire flashed. Two of the employees suffered severe hand, face, ear, and neck burns.
