Final narrative
An employee was helping a coworker re-energize a fire pump. There was a very loud bang, and the employee was struck in the middle of his back by an electric charge from the casualty power biscuit for the fire pump, which was behind him. A hole was burned through his shirt and there was a 2.5- to 3-inch circular black mark on his bare skin.
