Worker Burns Leg When Spilt Fuel on Motor Ignites

At approximately 3:00 p.m. on August 22, 2013, Employee #1, a 24-year-old male irrigator with Corralitos Farms LLC., was sitting on top of a motor, adding gasoline to the plastic water pump fuel tank, when the gas spilled down onto the hot motor and ignited. The fire from the spilt fuel burned Employee #1's right leg. Coworkers ran to assist Employee #1 after the event. Employee #1 was transported to Natividad Hospital in Salinas and later transported to the Burn Unit at Santa Clara Valley Hospital in San Jose, where he received a surgery to repair second degree burn injuries to his right leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized for two days. The weather was reported as a "windy day" on the day of the event.
