Employee is burned when CNG line explodes and catches fire

At 9:30 a.m. on June 22, 2019, an employee was performing maintenance on a compressed natural gas (CNG) regulator on a CNG Autocar front end load waste truck. The gas line has an approximately 3600 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure built up in the system.
