The employee unknowingly spilled some of the denatured alcohol on his pant legs. The vapors from the alcohol were ignited by the open flames from the fire bucket, which set the employee's pants on fire. The employee was hospitalized to treat second and third degree burns to both legs, from the calf to the knee areas.
