Narrative

An employee was clearing out cones of yarn in a warehouse after a small fire the previous day. A case of yarn (destabilized by the fire and the water that had been used to suppress it) began to fall. As the employee turned to run away, cones of yarn fell out of the case and broke his right ankle.
