Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 p.m. on May 26, 2008, Employee #1, a mechanic, and coworker were attempting to extinguish an engine fire on the company vehicle, which was a 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck. The vehicle was parked at the coworker's home, and Employee #1 obtained a water truck to extinguish the fire. The water truck, which was a Chevrolet flatbed truck, had a pressure pump motor that ran empty on fuel. Employee #1 was refueling the pump motor with a 2-gallon plastic container with spout near an ignition source. As Employee #1 filled the tank, a flash fire occurred that caused burns to his forearms, hands, stomach, and face. He was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was hospitalized.
