On September 16, 2024, a 20-year-old male wash bay attendant (victim) attempted to utilize an electric grease gun to apply grease to the rear axle of a liquid petroleum gas (LPG) tank trailer. As the victim activated the grease gun, a spark ignited the butane gas that was actively escaping the cargo tank, instantly engulfing the victim in fire. The victim succumbed to the injuries sustained in the incident seven days after it occurred. The decedent was a high school graduate and had worked for the employer for five months.
