Abstract: On September 17, 1995, Employee #1, age 71, was firewatching for a logging company and installing a switch for the foglights of a flatbed truck. Apparently he was working on the switch under the dashboard of the vehicle when it began to roll down an incline. He was knocked out of the truck just as it ran into a brush pile. The vehicle rolled far enough to trap Employee #1, who by then had suffered a heart attack and died. He was found by a passerby at 10:30 p.m., pinned under the truck's left rear dual tires.
