Fire in refinery furnace injures operator

A fire in a furnace in a crude unit in a refinery in the USA has critically injured a worker. He apparently inhaled superheated air. I can imagine the terrible internal burns he must have received. The cause is being investigated.Read about the accident in this link.
OSHA has a good technical description of refinery processes and their safety hazards. Read it in this link.
