Narrative

Two employees were checking for leaks and cracks on a recovery boiler. Another crew was welding inside the boiler, and an acetylene leak created a ball of fire that emerged from a valve and struck the two employees. One of them suffered burns to the right palm and face and the other suffered burns to the face.
