We do work there, but our guys said they are not releasing any details, other than it was "routing preventative maintenance work" and involved serious burns to one victim who is in critical condition, less sever burns to another, who is still hospitalized "under observation", and 7 others who were treated and released the same day.

Sounds like an Arc Flash event where one guy took it full on, his safety buddy likely pulled him away and got burned, the others likely just inhaled smoke etc. in the rescue event. Say a few prayers for the victims.
