Employee dies after falling into inspection pit at kiln

At approximately 8:15 a.m. on June 28, 1994, Employee #1 was walking through a brick kiln. He was alone and without a flashlight; the kiln was not lighted because it had been shut off to cool for repair. Employee #1 evidently stepped into an inspection pit that runs across the width of the kiln. The pit contained about 35 in. of water from recent heavy rains and had been heated by the concrete surfaces of the kiln. Employee #1 was burned over most of his body and died approximately 19 hours later in a burn center.
