Final narrative
An employee was lying on a roll-around creeper, welding overhead on a sponson tank. A weld fell onto his abdomen. It set his fire-resistant welding shirt on fire, and air from his portable air conditioning unit caused the fire to accelerate. It spread quickly over his clothes and body, burning his chest, arms, abdomen, upper thighs, and back.
