Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:10 a.m. on July 11, 1988, Employee #1, a service truck operator, was reeling in a gasoline hose onto a 1986 Ford 700 flatbed truck that had been converted to a service truck by his employer. Gasoline began spewing from the hose onto the ground and onto the front of Employee #1's body. The gasoline vapors ignited, and Employee #1 caught fire. He sustained second- and third-degree burns over 40 percent of his body and was hospitalized for 19 days. Apparently, the gasoline nozzle separated from the hose and the spraying gasoline was then ignited by exhaust from an air compressor that was powering the fuel pumps.
