Final narrative
An employee was vacuuming fly ash on the top section of a boiler when he stepped into an unusually deep section of fly ash, sinking into it up to his knees. The fly ash, which was still hot, went under his pants and into his shoes, causing second degree burns to both legs from the knees down.
