## Narrative

At the east grizzley heat was generated from warm coal in old duct work left from a de-commissioned bag house.  To allow water to drain, a 6?? hole was cut into a cover plate where a pipe was once connected to the baghouse . As the water began to flow from the hole, dust was carried with the water and flashed.  The flash occurred outside of the facility.
