Abstract: Employee #1 was inspecting a mill boiler and associated compartments, which had been idling for approximately 21 hours. When Employee #1 opened the inspection door to a fly ash collector, the opening of the door resulted in an influx of air that apparently caused the bridged dust to flame up, weaken, and fall out, striking Employee #1 and igniting his clothing. Employee #1 died of his burns.
