Investigation Summary
On August 29, 2006, Employees #1 through #5, all firefighters, were extinguishing a burning garbage truck that contained a high pH cleaning product. After most of the fire was out, the truck was moved to a transfer station, where some of the garbage was unloaded and the fire was completely extinguished. That evening, the employees experienced shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and skin irritation due to inhalation of toxic chemical vapors emitted from the fire. They were all hospitalized at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, WA, where they were treated for their injuries.
