Investigation Summary
On July 30, 1997, Employee #1, of Monaco Coach Corporation, was replacing a fuel gauge sending unit on a partially filled propane tank of a motor coach. Employee #2 was simultaneously working on an adjacent coach. Employee #1 inadvertently removed screws from a plate on the tank, creating a propane leak. The fuel was apparently ignited by a battery operated screwdriver. Employees #1 and #2 sustained serious burns in the ensuing fire.
