LEWISTON, Idaho (From news reports) -- A man was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being burned in an accident Thursday at Clearwater Paper in Lewiston.
The employee of the paperboard and tissue maker was listed in stable condition prior to being transferred from St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston to Harborview, said Shannon Myers, a spokeswoman for Clearwater Paper.
"At this point, we don't know the severity of the burns," she said.
The accident happened at about 1 p.m. Thursday when the employee was exposed to hot steam while working in the power recovery area in a part of the mill that makes pulp, Myers said.
An investigation is being conducted to determine the cause of the accident.
"The safety of our employees is always our top priority," Myers said.
