Abstract: Employee #1 was transferring very flammable liquid condensate from a tank battery to the 500-gallon tank on his truck. Employee #1 was working alone, no witnesses were present, and most of the evidence burned in the fire; therefore, the exact chain of events is sketchy. A cigarette lighter was found near the body, and Employee #1 was a smoker. It has been concluded that Employee #1 attempted to light a cigarette and ignited the condensate vapor in the air, causing the fire.
