Final narrative
An employee was preparing a boiler for curtailment (switching boiler from natural gas to a liquid fuel source). The employee had just removed the plug at the end of the boiler in preparation for the atomizing fuel oil gun to be inserted. When the plug was removed a flame event occurred engulfing the employee's face, neck, chest, and arms. The employee suffered second-degree burns to the face, arms, and hands.
