Employee burned by gasoline fire

On March 23, 1993, as Employee #1 was working underneath a van preparing to drain the gas tank, some gasoline splashed on the shop light hanging from the undercarriage. The bulb broke and the gasoline ignited. Employee #1 escaped from under the van with his coveralls on fire. A fellow employee sprayed Employee #1 with a fire extinguisher, dousing the burning coveralls, and then attempted to extinguish the fire. The auto repair garage was completely burned. Employee #1 received treatment for first- and second-degree burns to his right arm and left hand.
