Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an HVAC technician, was lighting a residential water heater with a MAPP torch. When the water heater did not light, he purged the line. Meanwhile, the thermocouple was still hot and kept the gas valve open allowing gas to pool. When he tried to light the water heater again, the pooled gas ignited and burned his face and nose. He was transported to the UC Davis Burn Center where he was treated for first and second degree burns.
