Investigation Summary
At 11:50 p.m. on January 1, 1996, Employees #1 and #2, pipefitters for Weyerhaeuser Co., were ventilating a compressor at the hardwood mill. Shortly before, a small fire had started on one of the air line valves about 8 ft to 10 ft away from the air compressor. The fire had already been extinguished and the employees were opening the doors to assess the damage to the compressor room. As they were in the room, two fireballs were emitted from the heat exchanging unit of the compressor, severely burning both employees. They were hospitalized.
