Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was sleeping in a travel trailer, for which he had borrowed a 7 1/2 gallon propane heater. He had gotten out of bed and was getting to ready to start work when he knocked over the propane tank. It did not have an ON/OFF regulator and the spilled propane ignited immediately. Coworkers found the trailer fully engulfed in flames 20 minutes later, but were unable to rescue Employee #1. He was pronounced dead at the scene and identified through dental records four days later.
