Final narrative
An employee was transferring calcium chloride from a railcar to a silo using a bucket elevator. A heavy downpour occurred during this process and water entered the bucket elevator. The elevator became choked and the employee attempted to clear the choke using water. This created an exothermic reaction and the employee suffered burns and also fell down some stairs as he was leaving the area.
