Nothing worse than burns, I just met a local guy, real good guy, serious gear head. He had knocked over a 5 gallon can of laquer thinner in his body shop. He nearly had it all cleaned up when his hot water heater kicked on, and lit the place. 3rd degree burns on most of his body, he was telling me about some of the gruesome details. When they cut his jeans off, the skin on his legs came off with the fabric. Never get lax on shop safety. Immediately after talking to him, I moved all of my paints, thinners, and chemicals to a safer spot in the shop. Well wishing to your neighbor, hope his was not as serious and he makes a good recovery, at 80 years old , this could be a tough one.
