I'm normally not a religous person, however looking for any help needed. A good friend of the family, Bill Kiserling works for Wisconsin Energies was working in a flooded steam tunnel in Milwaukee last night, normally not a big problem, put the pump in and leave or do a little work on the pump that is perminantly in the tunnel. However a high pressure super heated steam line ruptured and burnt a large portion of his body including face, chest, hands, legs, lungs. It was hot enough to melt portions of his clothes. He's in the ICU on a ventalator. He was able to get himself out of the hole and he was going down the street when his co worker stopped him. Thankfully the fire station was just down the street. The paramedics put him on fluids immediately and put a tube into his lungs. The family and myself will thank you ahead of time for your thoughts and prayers. Nate.
I am so sorry to hear this. Steam is a real hazard that some take lightly. It can burn faster than flame and since its wet it stays hot when you get exposed. Believe me I know as I suffered some steam burns to my chest and left shoulder. The worst part is the damage to the lungs ( thats why they put in a breathing tube). The swelling of lung tissue can block the airway completely. I hope youir friend has a good outcome and my prayers are ongoing for him and all his family and friends
I am sorry to hear about that. Just doing his job and an accident like this changes his life so abruptly. My thoughts are with him and his family.
Thats awful , man just trying to make a living and his life is turned around so terribly . We will definately pray for him and his family .
