On April 30, 2018, at approximately 11:30 a.m., an employee was helping to conduct a prescribed burn on a forest. He set his tool down to use the radio and communicate with others on the burn. When he reached down to pick up the tool, a copperhead snake that was camouflaged by leaves struck him on the right index finger knuckle. |
