Investigation Summary
Employees #1 through #3 were repairing a natural gas line that had ruptured the previous night. They were in the excavation, using an electric grinder to cut into the pipe about 60 ft from the site of the blowout when a flash fire erupted. All three employees sustained first- and second-degree burns and were hospitalized overnight.
