| On July 4, 1992, Brush 112, a 125 ton Chevrolet truck, was backing up Grass 132, which was doing a backburn down a power line road, a dirt road that has a very steep grade of 18 to 25 degrees. At approximately 11:31 p.m., Brush 112's engine died, causing the truck, which had an automatic transmission, to go into neutral. The truck rolled out of control down the hill. Employee #1, who was manning the water nozzle on the back of Brush 112, was crushed and killed when the truck rolled. | ||||||
