Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on October 24, 1994, Employees #1 and #2 accidentally ignited the vapors in a pit they had dug to contain a small amount of crude oil drained from a storage tank. The ignition source was an idling pickup truck that had been pulled up next to the pit. Both employees were burned on their arms, face, and torso in the resulting explosion, and were air-lifted in critical condition to the burn center at a local hospital. Employee #1 died in the burn center approximately 2 months later, and Employee #2 improved in condition and was transferred to the rehabilitation unit of the hospital approximately 7 weeks after the accident. Neither employee was available for interview due to their medical/psychological conditions.
