Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:15 a.m. on December 28, 1986, gasoline was being transferred from a barge to a storage tank. Employees #1 and #2 were in the dispatcher's office when a truck driver arrived at the plant and observed gasoline spilling over the retaining wall of the tank. A dispatcher notified the barge captain to stop pumping. Approximately 5,000 gal of gasoline had spilled into the yard and onto the street. A kerosene pilot light on nearby railroad tracks ignited the fumes and a ball of fire went into the plant yard. Employees #1 and #2 sustained burns on their faces, hands, necks, and arms and were admitted to a burn unit in New York.
