Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:50 a.m. on June 2, 1989, Employee #1 was troubleshooting the electrical system of the A/C unit in an 11 ft by 16 ft mechanical room, where propane cylinders were also stored. He was testing various fuses and disconnects when a fire ball engulfed the room. He died of the burns he sustained. It is believed that a relief valve of one of the cylinders opened and the gas was ignited by an electrical source.
