Narrative

After running a survey and putting air back on the hole, two employees were standing in the doorway of the doghouse watching the flow line to see if there was a gas flare. The pilot light for the flow line was not ignited. The injured employee used a propane torch to igniting the pilot light. A flash fire resulted due to down-hole gas that had come out of the flow line. The injured employee sustained second degree burns to their face, forearms, and hands.
