## Narrative

EE was welding & grinding on top of DL Tub.  A high wind came up causing the fire blanket, being used as welding shields, to whip violently.  Threads from the fire blanket got into EE's eyes.  Washed them out at site but because of nature of material elected to take him into clinic to be sure all removed.  Everything okay.
