Narrative

At about 5:30 p.m. on March 16, 2022, an employee was trying to light the fire in a boiler. He threw diesel into the boiler's fire box through a small door on the front of the boiler, but the air pressure in the boiler caused the diesel to come back and set his shirt on fire. He suffered first- and second-degree burns.
