## Narrative

An employee was inside a "dry room" at the press cell area. The room is environmentally controlled and a press is used to make heat pellets from powder. The powder is a flammable solid. The employee was cleaning the powder in the cell area with a broom and scoop and disposing of the powder at the satellite accumulation inside a fire cabinet. It is suspected that static electricity ignited the powder. The resulting fire burned both of the employee's hands.
