Investigation Summary
On February 21, 2008, Employee #1 was attempting to extinguish a fire onboard a 1996 Tigercat 726 feller-buncher when he became engulfed by flames that emanated from the rear of the equipment. Employee #1 was standing approximately 6 feet from the right-rear of the equipment, while using a cold fire suppression bottle to douse the fire.

Two other employees were able to assist Employee #1 in putting out the fire on his person. Employee #1 received third degree burns over 60 percent of his body and was airlifted by rescue helicopter from the scene.
