Narrative

An employee was cooking on a grill in a cafeteria. The grill's burner ignited gas leaking from the grill's hose, and the resulting fire set off the sprinkler system. The employee slipped on water from the sprinkler while evacuating, fell, and struck his head on a metal sink. He suffered a laceration to the right temple, as well as a burned left forearm.
