Investigation Summary
On June 1, 2004, Employee #1, a waterman for Reclamation District Number 108, responded to the district's "Rough and Ready Pumping Station", after hearing that the six pumps went offline. Employee #1 initially deenergized Pump Number 6 and entered a high-voltage compartment holding three fuses. After testing the fuses, he hung the tester on the side of the compartment and reenergized the compartment. Employee #1 went back to retrieve his tester, and he believed that the two leads contacted energized components and caused a flash fire. The Knights Landing Fire Department responded, and Employee #1 was airlifted to the UC Davis Medical Center Burn Unit in Sacramento. Employee #1 sustained second and third degree burns to both hands and arms but did not require skin grafts. He was hospitalized and released from the hospital on June 24, 2004.
