Narrative

An unplanned ignition occurred in the East coal mill dust collector. The automatic Co2 system discharged and fire was extingushed in less than 30 minutes. MSHA was notified timely and later conducted a comprehensive investigation of the event. We are still waiting on the results of that investigation.
