Narrative

An employee was trying to extinguish a fire caused by a pot of melting butter/grease left on the stove. The butter boiled over and caught fire inside the pot. The employee placed a sheet pan on top while a fire extinguisher was obtained. When the sheet pan was removed, the employee was exposed to a flash of flame that contacted her neck, face, and left arm (upper arm and forearm), resulting in second-degree burns.
