Narrative

A roof fall occurred on the 2 Left 4 West panel in entry number 4 between crosscuts 40 and 41. This was the 3A belt entry and it was supported with 5 foot double lock bolts and timbers. The area was wet which allowed the timbers to sink into the fire clay bottom allowing the fall to occur. The roof in this area is laminated sandy shale commonly referred to as ""stack rock"".
