Narrative

An employee was plugging an air compressor into an outlet in a shed when it emitted a spark that ignited gas that had accumulated in the shed. The shed housed oil and gas equipment that may have leaked gas and a propane storage tank and fuel line that may have leaked. This resulted in a fire and explosion that caused burns to the employee's face, hands, and torso.
