Narrative

As the 7LS1 Joy Shearer was cutting coal on the #1 L/W, an ignition took place on the T/G Drum which was cutting bottom rock as they went toward the H/G. The flame lasted approximately 10 to 20 seconds and was extinguished with the water sprays and a fire extinguisher. There were no injuries or property damage.
