Narrative

Two employees were in an aerial lift, approximately 25 feet from ground level. The employees were spraying water with a fire hose into ductwork on a machine in order to remove a blockage. When the blockage was removed, steam from the ductwork enveloped the employees in the lift. The employees were hospitalized due to steam burns.
