Employee sustains burns after flash fire in tank, later dies

On May 2, 2023, an employee working for a gas station and convenience store arrived at work to talk to a coworker (the employer) about payment for the building he leases. The employee asked the coworker if he could help him apply a fuel tank liner. The employee climbed inside the tank and plugged in his own light into an extension cord. A flash fire resulted that lasted less than a minute. The employee exited the tank and had third degree burns on approximately 90% of his body. The employee was taken to hospital and later moved to burn center where he died the following day.
