How to unlock the Fire In The Hole achievement in The Cave - Definitive Guide

Easy one. After you solved your first character room you will encounter a puzzle where you have to deliver 3 mine carts to a miner. This miner will throw dynamite at you.

In order to get the achievement you have to place quickly all three characters on the bridge and let the miner kill all three characters by one thrown dynamite at the same time. Easily done - just regroup them on the right side of the bridge and wait... ;)

Note: Of course in multiplayer this is way easier because everybody can control one character. I did in singleplayer though and had no problems. Got it on my first try.

While the solution above me will probably work just fine, i have found an easier way to unlock the achievement.
With my solution you will only have to move one character instead of three at the same time.

Place two characters close to each other at the far right side of the bride, where the miner won't throw dynamit at them.
Then select the third character, pick up the bucket (lies on the bridge) and catch the dynamite. (Important note: At this point the bucket must not yet have water in it!) When you have catched the dynamite, run to your teammates and wait a second or two...
BOOM, Achievement unlocked. :-)

I won't neg this because it apparently works for some people, but I tried it twice and it didn't work. OTOH when I quit messing with the bucket and just did it the regular way, I got it on the first try, and I still only had to move 1 character.

Missable

In the "Mine" area there will be a miner who throws a shovel, bucket, corn and dynamite at you. In between throws of dynamite, stack all three of your characters in one spot on the rickety bridge. The dynamite must kill all of your characters at once.

If you are going for Who wants to live forever simply exit to the XMB without saving and reload the game.

Very easy to get.
When you get to the puzzle with the miner and then walk unto the bridge when the miner starts throughing stuff onto the bridge.
He'll through a shovel, can of corn, a bucket and from then on dynamite.
Make sure that your adventurers are grouped together when the miner starts throwing dynamite. When done correctly all three will die by the miner's hand.

Once you reach the bottom of the mine, you will meet the aggressive Miner. He will throw a Bucket, Spade and Can of Creamed Corn down in front of you, followed by a constant stream of exploding dynamite. Gather all three characters together and just before he throws another stick of dynamite, move your characters next to where the dynamite will land. For this trophy to unlock, all three characters must die at the same time.

Remember to do this trophy before sending all three mine carts down to him, as by that point he won’t throw dynamite anymore.

The following video shows how to earn this trophy. Thanks to Admiral Vic:

After pulling a couple of levers and causing a minor cave-in you'll come across a rather angry miner. You'll need your entire group blown up by the same stick of dynamite. The easiest way to do this is regroup everybody on the right of the bridge, and just wait for the boom stick!

A couple of notes here. Firstly, if you're looking to get Creamed Corn then you should ensure the can of corn the miner throws at you is blown up by dynamite. Otherwise you'll have to take it with you and find another way of destroying it.
Secondly, you should aim to get blown up before you begin solving the mine car puzzles. Once all three cars are delivered he'll stop throwing dynamite.

In the scene where the miner throws dynamite at us, which we must catch with a bucket, we need to bring the entire party to one point at the same time so that all three are killed by the dynamite at the same time. This must be done, of course, before you bring the trolleys to him.
