Abstract: At 7:00 p.m. on April 11, 2013, Employee #1 was operating the condensate stabilizer on the heater when it stopped working. The unit was allowed to cool before the employee and a coworker approached the stabilizer to investigate. Employee #1 went to the stabilizer, turned off the fuel gas line and turned off the igniter before opening the back cover of the heater. The employee and the coworker discovered a burnt ignition wire. As the two began walking away from the stabilizer to gather tools for the repair, a flash fire ignited the area. Employee #1 was caught in the fire and was killed.
