Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a home health care worker, was sent to assist a terminally ill elderly gentleman at his home. A wood-burning heater provided heat to the man's wood cabin, and he was using flammable liquids to help start a fire. This resulted in an explosion in the southwest bedroom which blew out the glass windowpanes in one area of the cabin and ignited the combustible materials within the room. The fire spread throughout the remainder of the residence, consuming all combustible structural components. Employee #1 and the elderly man died of smoke inhalation.
