Abstract: On July 29, 2003, two painting crews were in a new subdivisions and one of the box trucks broke down near the end of the day. The company had the driver of the other box truck pick the other crew up. That put Employee's # 1 through 13 in the back of the box truck and four coworkers in the cab. The box truck was loaded with paints, lacquer thinner, stains, and acrylics among other paint chemicals. A can of lacquer thinner spilled while the employees were smoking. A lighted cigarette or a spark from a lighter ignited the lacquer thinner vapors. The truck was engulfed immediately, and the driver pulled over to the shoulder of the road. Employee's # 1 through 13 were all hospitalized for severe burns and scalding. Employees # 1 and 2, later eventually died.
