EE WAS CUTTING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE 6A HOPPER WITH A TORCH WHEN HIS LEFT GLOVE CAUGHT ON FIRE BETWEEN HIS THUMB AND FIRST FINGER. HE TOOK HIS GLOVE OFF & PUT SNOW ON THE BURN TO COOL IT OFF. HE STATED HOW UNUSUALLY FAST & HOT IT WAS. ANOTHER EE WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT INSPECTED THE TORCH TO SEE WHY THIS HAPPENED. A HOLE WAS FOUND IN THE HOSE. IT WAS COVERED W/ELEC. TAPE.
