EE was disposing wet dynamite caps. The caps were put into a designated area, lit on fire, and EE left the barricaded area. EE returned to the barricaded area, leaned down to relight the fire and at that point the caps detonated. EE was wearing safety goggles but EE still received minor burns to the face and a small fragment of steel in right shoulder.
