Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using an oxyacetylene torch on the supports of a fuel mix-and-transfer unit. He drained fuel from the auxiliary tank into a 2-gallon plastic bucket. The bucket apparently leaked or was overfilled, and the gasoline flowed to the front of the unit, where Employee #1 had resumed cutting off an additional piece of metal tubing or screening material. A piece of hot slag fell to floor, splattered, and ignited the flow of leaking gasoline. The fire engulfed Employee #1, and he suffered second- and third-degree burns on his arms, legs, and torso.
