Final narrative
On 10/10/16, employees started a prescribed fire in a national forest to help the vegetation in the area. One employee was refueling a chainsaw to cut trees. When he uncapped the fuel tank, the hot oil boiled out of the tank and onto his right wrist, right arm, and belly, causing second and third degree burns.
