Steve Brokamp, who has worked at Jay’s for 35 years, suffered third-degree burns in the incident and remains hospitalized, Haverstick said. He is conscious, alert and stable, she said. Two other employees were treated and released Tuesday night.
Employees told Haverstick they did not smell gas prior to a sudden flash in the kitchen that occurred shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday. There was no damage to the restaurant or its kitchen, Haverstick said.
Tonight’s closure will force the cancellation of a sold-out beer dinner.
