A worker injured at the Ensight Energy oil fire Monday morning went into surgery Friday after a stay in an intensive care unit throughout the week, his sister said.

Chris Moss, a freelance worker who was on site when an oil well exploded into flames, was taken to a burn center in Jackson via helicopter and immediately went into surgery. His burns were “vast,” sister Amy Thomas said, as he was burned “from hair to thigh.” His airways were open and functioning that day because he held his breath during the explosion, Thomas said.
