## Narrative

Cowin Construction company was working in the shaft replacing cage rollers and guides (made of wood beams). Torch cutting was required to cut out old rollers. Apparently sparks entered the cavity of one of the old rotted timbers and began to smolder. Three hours later the spark was causing enough smoke to be identified.
