Investigation Summary
Employees #1 through #3 were cleaning and detailing a boat that was in the last stage of manufacturing. Employees #1 and #2 were in the cabin of the boat, and Employee #3 was in the back cockpit; all were cleaning with acetone contained in quart-sized containers. When Employee #1 started up an electric vacuum cleaner, it apparently ignited the acetone vapors in the air of the cabin, resulting in a flash fire. All three employees sustained burns, for which they were hospitalized.
