Due to delays in production, they needed to disassemble the pyrotechnic display. Each of them was using a bare hand to brush the mixture of Titanium and Sparking Balls Arcing Match, D2 Sparking Granules from the surface of a wooden prop into his other hand. Employees #1 and #2 sustained serious burn injuries to their hands when the mixture ignited. They were not using any face or hand protection during this operation.
